This toolkit aims to support countries in implementing Objective 4 of the Global Action Plan – ‘‘optimize the use of antimicrobial medicines” – by providing practical guidance on how to implement antimicrobial stewardship (AMS) programmes in the human health sector at the national and health-care facility level in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs)
The toolkit is targeted at national and/or regional health authorities responsible for the implementation of national action plans on AMR, in particular, those responsible for activities related to optimizing the selection and use of antimicrobials, national AMS TWGs, health-care professionals and other partners supporting national and regional AMS efforts.
It provides practical guidance on where to get started, including the core elements, structures and resources that should be put in place at the national and health-care facility level to facilitate the implementation of AMS programmes.
