RESUMO
In 2011, the WHO Regional Office for Europe launched the publication Tackling antibiotic resistance from a food safety perspective in Europe. The publication explored the options for prevention and containment of antibiotic resistance in the food chain through national coordination and international cooperation. Over the past decade, significant progress has been made and good achievements have been reached. However, foodborne antimicrobial resistance remains an issue in the WHO European Region. Every year, 23 million people fall ill, nearly 5000 people die from unsafe food, and several foodborne disease hazards are showing increasing levels of resistance to commonly used antimicrobials. This publication gives an overview of the current context and recent developments regarding foodborne antimicrobial resistance in the Region. It also explores the role of food safety authorities in reducing antimicrobial resistance and provides updated and practical advice on the prevention and control of antimicrobial resistance at the animal–human–environment interface using the One Health approach, including examples of successful interventions and programmes undertaken by Member States in the Region to prevent and contain antimicrobial resistance in foodborne pathogens. The publication is aimed at policy-makers and food safety authorities working in the public health, agriculture, food production and veterinary sectors in Member States in the Region.

This major report is the first comprehensive attempt to chart progress towards the health-related Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in the WHO Eastern Mediterranean Region. It presents regional trends between 2015 and 2019 for 50 health-related SDG indicators using available data from WHO and estimates from other United Nations agencies. The report reveals encouraging progress in some areas but also many gaps and weaknesses in health-related services and outcomes as well as the data needed to measure them. As such it will be critical reading for everyone working to plug those gaps and realize the vision of the 2030 Agenda.
