Funded by the EU4Health 2021 Programme, Tetra Tech conducted a study for the European Commission on the “Barriers to the effective implementation of policies against antimicrobial resistance (AMR)” in the EU Member States, Norway and Iceland. The study provides input to support the EU's overall goal to combat AMR by improving the development and implementation of One Health national action plans (NAPs) which, in turn, shall contain effective measures in infection prevention and control and prudent use of antimicrobials. The research was conducted under the following study areas: development and implementation of One Health NAPs, infection prevention and control (IPC) measures in hospitals and long-term care facilities (LTCFs); antimicrobial stewardship measures (AMS) in hospitals, LTCFs, primary care and pharmacies. The research revealed some common problems across all countries, such as insufficient funding to deliver on the measures foreseen in the NAPs, the shortages of qualified staff at all levels of care, the lack of measures targeting LTCFs specifically, the limited involvement of pharmacies in AMS, and the disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic in the health sector.
