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.
