Ireland unveiled its third national action plan, iNAP3, aimed at aggressively tackling Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR), a phenomenon often referred to as a “silent pandemic.” This resistance crisis occurs when bacteria evolve to resist antibiotic drugs, threatening to make common infections untreatable. The strategy adopts a comprehensive “One Health” approach, focusing on strengthening antibiotic surveillance and usage control across human health, agriculture, and the environment between 2026 and 2030. Irish authorities emphasized the urgency, noting that antibiotic resistance is accelerating and requires significant public health investment to mitigate future catastrophe.
