Abstract

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) leads to increased mortality, morbidity and health expenditure. Globally, there is an increasing concern over AMR which is claiming 700,000 people every year and this is projected to 10,000,000 people by 2050. The recently documented AMR rates paint an increasingly alarming scenario for Uganda, and if strategic measures are not taken to halt and reverse the trends, treatment options for infectious diseases will always become more limited to many financially constrained Ugandans.
