 My name is Sam Kariuki and I am Director of Research and Development at the Kenya Medical Research Institute. I am also a researcher. My area of interest is in the area of surveillance and monitoring and characterization of antimacrobial resistance in Kenya. The issue of AMR is really multi-sectorial and yet all these different sectors be they livestock farming, be they fisheries, be they in human health do not really coordinate with one another. So you find that one sector is trying to control AMR without reference to the other sector yet AMR has no boundaries. So that's one. Secondly, the other major challenge that we find is the fact that we may have that effectively requires to control aspects of use and access of antimicrobials in both health facilities and in animal health or livestock production. We find that this registration just exists on paper. It's rarely effectively implemented or effectively enforced. And the other major issue that I find as a challenge is the fact that we have a lot of issues on quality of products available in this country both in livestock farming and also in human health. And the reason for that is because we are basically a consuming country. We import most of our pharmaceuticals. We do not have the capacity sometimes to police and quality control the products we receive. This is a hub definitely that will go a long way in being able to be a centre of excellence where people can come and exchange ideas and be able at the same time to produce data that can be quality controlled and that people can believe in because we know that this is the place that we can find all forms of professionals coming together to discuss issue of AMR. We are not many centres of excellence that regard antimicrobial resistance globally actually. And in Africa I can say this is one of the very very first that I have seen being inaugurated specifically to look at the area of antimicrobial resistance. So as a first in a low and middle income country this is a workshop that is essential to jail people together and for people to come together and realise that the problem of antimicrobial resistance is our problem. It is a problem that goes beyond boundaries of whether I am dealing with fisheries, with wildlife, with livestock, with pets and so forth. Everybody must be brought on board. So this is a workshop especially the theme of bringing together different stakeholders to be able to solve the issue of antimicrobial resistance. So the reason why I have attended this workshop is really to be enriched and to be able to understand that I will be among colleagues who bring together knowledge both technical, social and environmental to be able to tackle one common enemy that is antimicrobial resistance.
