Antimicrobial Stewardship in Practice: A Guide to Effective Implementation
Title: Advancing Antibiotic Stewardship: Strategies for Success
English Language
Antimicrobial Stewardship Program Description
- Embrace the Antimicrobial Stewardship Program: A Comprehensive Strategy
Antimicrobial stewardship represents a coordinated approach that encourages the judicious use of antimicrobials, including antibiotics. - Antibiotic Stewardship program enhances patient outcomes, combats microbial resistance, and curtails the proliferation of infections triggered by multidrug-resistant pathogens.
- The misuse and overuse of antimicrobials pose significant global public health challenges. As infectious organisms develop resistance to the drugs intended to eradicate them, these medications lose their effectiveness.
- Patients afflicted with antimicrobial-resistant infections tend to experience prolonged, costlier hospital stays and face an increased risk of mortality.
- Discover the principles of antimicrobial stewardship and its practical application at both patient care and organisational levels.
