The Asia Pacific Foundation for Infectious Diseases (APFID) is the first international foundation in Asia dedicated specifically to infectious diseases. Its primary goal is to enhance public health in Asia by strengthening and coordinating national and international research activities related to infectious diseases and antimicrobial resistance.

APFID supports various international research endeavors, including the ‘Asian Network for Surveillance of Resistant Pathogens (ANSORP)’, basic research conducted by the ‘Asian Bacterial Bank (ABB)’ and the ‘Infectious Disease Research Institute (IDRI)’. Additionally, APFID organizes the ‘International Symposium on Antimicrobial Agents and Resistance (ISAAR)’ every two years, providing a platform for the exchange of scientific information on infectious diseases and antimicrobial resistance in the Asia Pacific region.

Furthermore, APFID spearheads the ‘SuperU (against superbug) Campaign’, an international program aimed at controlling and preventing antimicrobial resistance in the Asia-Pacific region. All these organizations and activities are integrated under APFID’s mission and future vision.

Through active collaboration and partnerships with institutions, organisations, industries and academic societies, contribute to theimprovement of public health in the Asia-Pacific region and beyond.
