Article Synopsis
- Infections caused by pathogens can lead to severe health issues, and the misuse of antimicrobials has resulted in antimicrobial resistance (AMR), increasing mortality and healthcare costs.
- Antimicrobial stewardship (AMS) programs aim to improve the use of effective antimicrobial therapy while minimizing AMR through guidelines and policies.
- A study in Eastern Saudi Arabia revealed that many healthcare providers lack awareness and experience with AMS, highlighting significant barriers such as insufficient internal policies and administrative support.
