Standing Up to One of Global Health’s Silent Threats

Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) is a growing global health challenge that threatens the effectiveness of treatments for infections and undermines healthcare systems. Garrod Health is committed to being part of the solution — through stewardship, advocacy and innovation.

Antimicrobial Stewardship Programmes

Within our pharmacy operations and affiliated clinics, we promote the responsible prescription, dispensing and use of antibiotics and other antimicrobials — aligned with national and global guidelines.

Education of Patients & Providers

We provide training materials and outreach for healthcare professionals and patients on when antimicrobials are appropriate, dangers of misuse, and the importance of adherence.

Collaborations with Stakeholders

We work alongside hospitals, government agencies, research institutions and pharmaceutical partners to implement best practices, track AMR trends and promote surveillance.

Supply-Chain & Disposal Practices

We ensure that disposal of unused antimicrobials, expired drugs and medical waste is managed to prevent environmental contamination, which can contribute to AMR.

Innovation & Access

We support newer diagnostic technologies, rapid testing and access to alternative therapies to reduce reliance on broad-spectrum antimicrobials and preserve their efficacy for future generations.

Why this matters for our stakeholders

By proactively addressing AMR, Garrod Health safeguards the long-term efficacy of treatments, protects patient outcomes, supports public health resilience and reinforces our role as a trusted healthcare partner across the Philippines and beyond.
