Fisheries and Livestock Adviser Farida Akhter has urged strict enforcement of a zero-tolerance policy against the misuse and overuse of antibiotics to curb antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in Bangladesh. Speaking at an event titled ‘Fleming Fund Legacy in Bangladesh: Tackling AMR through One Health Approach,’ organized by the British High Commission in Dhaka, she emphasized the importance of ensuring food safety in line with WTO guidelines. Akhter highlighted that achieving Sustainable Development Goal 2, which aims to end hunger, requires not only food production but also responsible use of antibiotics and pesticides in agriculture and livestock sectors. She noted that poor communities suffer most from the misuse of antibiotics in cheap poultry production. The adviser praised the UK government’s Fleming Fund for strengthening AMR surveillance and raising awareness among farmers, veterinarians, and field officers. She called for integrated efforts across human health, fisheries, livestock, and agriculture sectors under the One Health framework to ensure safe food and responsible antimicrobial use.
