ARFID
will serve as a core infrastructure for research
on infectious diseases and antimicrobial agents
through collaborative research, technical development,
exchange of ideas and information, and strategic
planning in the Asian-Pacific region.
ARFID could initiate and support international
collaboration in the region through the ANSORP.
Collaborative research by ANSORP will produce
pivotal data regarding infectious diseases and
antimicrobial resistance in the region. ARFID
could strengthen the capacity of developing
country institutions in promoting technical
development. Not only through ANSORP but also
through the Asian Bacterial Bank (ABB) and Infectious
Disease Research Institute (IDRI), ARFID will
support the research-related activities in the
region.
ARFID will contribute to disseminate state-of-the-art
information on these issues and to exchange
ideas between scientists by organizing the International
Symposium on Antimicrobial Agents and Resistance
every other year. For this purpose, ARFID will
collaborate with other organizations or academic
societies worldwide. Sharing of the information
will also be possible through the ARFID and
ANSORP internet website (http://www.ansorp.org).
To be most effective, ARFID should be non-governmental,
not-for-profit, and independent.
Ultimately, ARFID will contribute to strategic
planning for the control and prevention of infectious
diseases and antimicrobial resistance in the
region. ARFID will collaborate with other institutions,
multinational networks or systems elsewhere
in the world for global health issues. |
