Davif Smith

Antimicrobial resistance poses a significant threat to global public health, rendering once-effective medications ineffective against common infections. Antimicrobial Stewardship Programs have emerged as a critical strategy to address this growing crisis. This article delves into the importance of ASPs, their key components and the role they play in optimizing antimicrobial use. Through a comprehensive exploration of current challenges, successes and future prospects, we highlight the pivotal role that antimicrobial stewardship plays in safeguarding the future of healthcare.
