33 How INEI has contributed to the improvement of the Diagnosis of ATM in LA-countries? Through different activities the capacities of the LA-countries were have been strengthen in: Diagnosis and early detection of emergent mechanisms of ATM, Surveillance of ATM in pathogens of public health relevance, Received technical training at RRL of professionals of National Laboratories of Public Health (3 months to 1 year), Participated in training courses and workshops on phenotypic and molecular diagnosis of resistance mechanisms, Received updates of procedure manuals, work protocols, epidemiological alerts, algorithms to search for resistance mechanisms of clinical impact, standard strains to control the quality of susceptibility testing and strains of reference of all resistance mechanisms, Continual technical assistance in public health emergences related with the spread of organisms or mechanism of ATB R, etc.

34 Name of the initiative: Strengthening of CARPHA and national capacities of the countries of the Region for Diagnosis and Surveillance of Antimicrobial Resistance

35 General Objective/s of the Project To improve AMR diagnosis and To establish National and Regional networks for Surveillance of AMR in Caribbean countries. This project will focus on: a. Supporting the countries to create/improve their AMR detection and surveillance programs. b. Establishing a formal Regional network for AMR. c. Develop programs on sustainable quality guarantee on clinical bacteriological diagnosis and AMR.

36 Specific Objectives of the Project Strengthen the laboratories of Reference on AMR in the Caribbean. Improve the capacity for AMR diagnosis in clinical labs. of the countries. Develop a Surveillance Networks for AMR in the countries involved. Implement an External Quality Assurance Program for the Reference Laboratory/ies for the Caribbean countries. Implement a External National Quality Assurance Program on bacteriological diagnosis and AMR for the in Caribbean countries. Develop a Regional Laboratory System to Prevent and Control the AMR in the Caribbean countries.
