Global Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance System (GLASS)
Launched in 2015, the WHO Global Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance System (GLASS) has been developed by the WHO to support the global action plan on antimicrobial resistance. As of May 2021, 109 countries/territories are enrolled in GLASS. The aim is to support global surveillance and research in order to strengthen the evidence base on antimicrobial resistance (AMR), help inform decision-making and drive national, regional, and global actions.
