摘要

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a major global health threat, yet the effectiveness of national action plans (NAPs) remains uncertain. Here we developed a multidimensional One Health governance index through a structured Delphi expert consultation to evaluate AMR governance across 193 countries (2017–2022), integrating 269 policy documents, expert-weighted indicators and multinational survey and surveillance datasets. Difference-in-differences and joinpoint regression analyses were used to link governance to antimicrobial use, AMR prevalence and AMR-related mortality. Global governance scores improved from 30.7 to 44.5/100, although implementation and monitoring lagged behind policy design, particularly in animal and environmental sectors. A significant increase in AMR prevalence scores was observed only 5 years after NAP adoption (two-stage difference-in-differences, β = 2.43, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.02–3.85, P < 0.05), underscoring the delayed impact of policy. Multisector engagement (early-adopting countries, β = 0.05, 95% CI 0.02–0.08, P < 0.01) and antimicrobial use surveillance system (early-adopting countries, β = 0.05, 95% CI 0.03–0.07, P < 0.01) showed the strongest associations with improvement in AMR outcomes. As the 2026 Global Action Plan update approaches, sustained financing and integrated One Health surveillance, with stronger environmental and agricultural engagement, are essential for translating NAPs into sustained reductions in resistance.
