KEY LEADERSHIP ACTIONS
OF THE AMS COMMITTEE
A clear mandate gives the committee legitimacy,
enabling enforcement, policy creation, and inter-agency coordination.
Building consensus across health workers, administrative leaders, and
stakeholders reduces resistance and builds commitment.
AMR is a multisectoral problem—coordinated leadership ensures
sustained, wide-reaching impact.
Empowered and informed staff are more likely to implement AMS
activities with confidence and competence.
Embedding AMS in routine planning and budgeting ensures continuity
beyond leadership transitions.
