On the 20th November 2024, recipient of the Grassroots Science Advice Promotion Awards 2023, Dr Deepthi Vijay, conducted the culminating workshop, ‘AMR Conclave 2024: Strengthening One Health Action Plan’, at Hotel Ashoka Inn, Thrissur, India. In collaboration with INGSA-Asia and ReAct Asia Pacific, this event, commemorating ‘World Antimicrobial Resistance Awareness Week’, gathered distinguished experts and stakeholders from diverse sectors to formulate actionable strategies for AMR containment, emphasizing the One Health framework. The conclave aimed to critically evaluate AMR strategies, identify barriers to policy implementation, and propose practical, actionable solutions.

The outcomes of the two workshops and online discussion were summarized as a handbook, One Health Approach to Antimicrobial Resistance: A Veterinary Perspective, with ISBN Number: 978-81-977384-4-9 which was launched during the event. Designed as a resource for veterinarians as well as general public, this publication outlines practical strategies for promoting responsible antibiotic use, implementing infection control measures, and educating farmers on sustainable practices. The handbook aligns with the broader goal of empowering professionals to tackle AMR through evidence-based interventions.
