Nigeria National Antimicrobial Stewardship Technical Claimed

Antimicrobial stewardship is a critical approach in healthcare aimed at optimizing the use of antibiotics to combat resistance and improve patient outcomes. This strategy ensures that patients receive the right drug, dose, and duration of treatment, minimizing harmful side effects and slowing the spread of resistant microbes. Hospitals, clinics, and public health systems implement antimicrobial stewardship programs to monitor prescriptions, educate providers, and promote responsible antibiotic use. As infections become harder to treat due to resistance, antimicrobial stewardship plays a vital role in preserving the effectiveness of existing drugs and protecting global health for future generations.
