| dc.description.abstract | Antimicrobial Stewardship Programs (ASPs) intended to optimize antibiotic use will be more effective if informed by the current status and patterns of antibiotic utilisation. In Zambia’s primary healthcare (PHC) settings, data on ASPs and antibiotic utilisation were inadequate to guide improvements. As a first step, this study assessed antibiotic prescribing and ASP core elements among PHC first-level hospitals (FLHs) in Zambia. | |
