As part of efforts to confront the growing problem of antimicrobial resistance (AMR), the World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH, founded as OIE) is committed to collecting data on antimicrobial agents intended for use in animals, or AMU. WOAH also manages a global AMU database (ANIMUSE) and publishes annual AMU reports.
WOAH Members including Japan are also increasingly contributing to the organisation’s global AMU data collection, with a vast majority of the dataset based on antimicrobial production, importation, and/or sales data submitted by market license holders. The University of Tokyo Laboratory of OSG Veterinary Science for Global Disease Management, funded by the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry (MAFF) via the Japan Racing Association (JRA), has been implementing a project to establish an e-prescription system for veterinary medicine, including antimicrobials. This project is ultimately expected to contribute to reinforcing the national AMU data collection system.
In this context, the University of Tokyo and WOAH jointly organised a hybrid symposium, “Data collection system on veterinary medicine at farm-level – with the aim of developing digital prescription system” at Koshiba Hall, Hongo Campus of the University of Tokyo, Tokyo, Japan and via Zoom, on 17th October 2023. The symposium provided ongoing examples of initiatives on veterinary e-prescription systems in Italy and Japan, and shared experiences among the stakeholders.
Date and time: 17 October 2023, Tuesday, 13:00 Japan time
Location: Koshiba Hall, Tokyo University, Tokyo, Japan and on Zoom (Hybrid)
