Antibiotic Stewardship Programs

Antibiotic Stewardship Programs are coordinated efforts in healthcare settings to ensure antibiotics are used appropriately. Their goal is to select the right antibiotic, at the right dose, for the right duration, to effectively treat infections while minimizing unnecessary use. This helps prevent antibiotic resistance, reduces side effects, and preserves the effectiveness of these medicines for the future. By monitoring and guiding antibiotic use, these programs improve patient outcomes and protect public health against resistant bacteria.
