Singapore Guidelines for the Prudent Use of Antimicrobials in Companion Animals

AMR has been declared as one of the top 10 global public health threats by the World Health Organisation (WHO). It endangers human health and threatens the health and welfare of all animals. 

The Animal & Veterinary Service, a cluster of the National Parks Board (NParks/AVS), has partnered with the Singapore Veterinary Association (SVA) to produce Singapore’s first Guidelines for the Prudent Use of Antimicrobials in Companion Animals. This guides local veterinarians on good antimicrobial stewardship practices, and includes a prescribing guide for first-line antimicrobial selection. It also contains background information on properties of antimicrobials and a client education tool kit.
