ABOUT GIFTS-AMR
The Global Initiative for Traditional Solutions to Antimicrobial Resistance (GIFTS-AMR) is a globally organized network of Traditional, Complementary and Integrative Healthcare (TCIH) and antimicrobial resistance (AMR)/ infectious diseases research institutes, researchers in both human and veterinary medicine and global/ regional policy makers. The aims of the network are:
-
To develop a global “Traditional Solutions to Antimicrobial Resistance” network by mapping and connecting the research fields, research institutes, infrastructures and researchers in human and animal healthcare involved in research on TCIH.
-
To develop research agendas starting with at least one to three prioritized indications both in human and veterinary healthcare.
-
To prepare grant proposals for research projects and the continuation of the network after the JPIAMR project.
-
To communicate to relevant stakeholders the existence, activities and output (e.g., research agendas, website) of the Network, both online (report on website, webinars) and during an (online) international conference.
Currently, the GIFTS-AMR network involves 17 research institutes and 6 additional organizations worldwide working in TCIH on the topic of AMR in both human and/ or animal healthcare. The various TCIH types are mainly Anthroposophic medicine, Ayurveda, Homeopathy, Phytotherapy and Traditional Chinese Medicine. A broad range of research types is covered among the network, many working in clinical and pre-clinical research and for example on ethnomedicinal surveys, guideline development and public health research.
