On November 2, 2026, the Regional Secretariat of the One Health Program at the Regional Environmental Centre for Central Asia held a routine working consultation with representatives of the World Organisation for Animal Health to prepare cross-border simulation exercises between the Kyrgyz Republic and the Republic of Tajikistan.
For a farmer, a sick cow means more than a treatment bill. Milk production, income and the animal itself may be at risk. An antibiotic can therefore seem the quickest solution. Yet behind the choice of medicine lies a more difficult question: how accessible are veterinary care, diagnosis and prevention? In my view, this is where the discussion of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in livestock should begin.
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has long since moved beyond the boundaries of a purely medical problem and has become one of the most serious global threats to public health, the economy and food security.
Antibiotics are essential for combating dangerous infections and saving millions of lives each year. However, following use, a portion of these pharmaceuticals enters the environment, where they can persist, affect living organisms, and facilitate the proliferation of treatment-resistant bacteria.
