India faces a severe antimicrobial resistance crisis, with high infection rates and rising deaths, prompting a new national action plan.
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a growing global health threat, with India facing one of the world’s highest burdens, according to experts.
Data shows one in three bacterial infections in India are resistant to common antibiotics, far exceeding the global average, with over 80% of patients carrying multidrug-resistant organisms.
Key pathogens like E. coli, Klebsiella, and Acinetobacter show alarming resistance, and resistance to last-resort drugs like carbapenems and colistin is rising.
In 2019, India recorded an estimated 267,000 AMR-related deaths.
The government has launched a new National Action Plan (2025–2029) emphasizing a One Health approach, better surveillance, and responsible antibiotic use.
Experts warn that without urgent action, routine infections could become untreatable.
