Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a critical global public health concern, particularly acute in rural China. Counties, which cover extensive rural regions, face major challenges in AMR governance and thus require priority attention. Yet, AMR governance efforts across sectors are fragmented, with notable gaps in translating policy objectives into sustainable, practical governance measures. This programme will entail a series of studies focusing on county-level cross-sectoral synergy governance for AMR, aiming to identify optimal synergy governance strategies to curb AMR.
