Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Antimicrobial resistance is one of the greatest threats to human health, and is driven by inappropriate antimicrobial use. Antimicrobial stewardship programs (ASPs) improve the use of antimicrobials in hospitals. The purpose of this study is to identify the need for and barriers to implementation of ASPs in three hospitals in Sri Lanka, Kenya, and Tanzania.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Antimicrobial resistance is one of the greatest threats to human health, and is driven by the inappropriate antimicrobial use. Antimicrobial stewardship programs (ASPs) improve the use of antimicrobials. The purpose of this study is to identify the need for and barriers to implementation of ASPs in three hospitals in Sri Lanka, Kenya, and Tanzania. The impact of creating a basic ASP will be assessed at each hospital.
