The WOAH Regional Representation for Asia and the Pacific (WOAH RRAP), in collaboration with the Regional Tripartite AMR Project (FAO, WHO, and WOAH) and the Japan Racing Association (JRA), is organizing a hybrid event on data collection systems for veterinary medicine at the farm-level, to support the reduction of antimicrobial use.
Since 2016, the World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH) has been committed to collecting data on Antimicrobial Agents Intended for Use in Animals (AMU), managing a global database, and publishing an annual AMU report.
The government of Japan contributes to this global initiative by submitting its quantitative data collected through a Japan Veterinary Antimicrobial Resistance Monitoring (JVARM) system, based on antimicrobial sales data submitted by market license holders.
Concurrently, a research team from the University of Tokyo, funded by the Japan Racing Association (JRA) and in collaboration with field veterinarians and porcine producers, has been developing an e-prescription system for veterinary antimicrobials. The ultimate goal of this system is to integrate it into, or complement, Japan’s national AMU monitoring system.
This symposium, jointly organized by WOAH RRAP and the University of Tokyo research team, intends to present ongoing initiatives in Spain and Japan on AMU monitoring and share experiences to improve current and future initiatives.
The symposium’s objectives include:
Primary audiences include WOAH Focal Points for Veterinary Products in Asia and the Pacific, relevant veterinary regulatory authorities, and field veterinarians / veterinary students in the region and beyond.
