Abstract
The Korean national action plan on antimicrobial resistance (AMR) was established on 11 August 2016 by the Korean Ministry of Health and Welfare. This article briefly describes the current status of AMR in Korea and introduces six objectives of the action plan, including the prudent use of antimicrobial medicines, prevention of the spread of AMR, strengthening surveillance programmes, awareness improvement, strengthening research and development, and enhancement of international collaboration. Integrated multisectoral principles are applied to fight AMR more effectively. This 5-year national AMR action plan will be the cornerstone of public health in Korea.
