Optimisation of antimicrobial use in BSIs and UTIs in various health sector settings in Zambia

This project aims to improve the appropriate use of antibiotics for BSIs and UTIs by 20% among prescribers across the continuum care within 2 years, by introducing an antimicrobial stewardship programme in selected Zambian healthcare facilities. BSIs and UTIs will be used as proxies along the continuum of care.
