Knowledge of antimicrobial stewardship and the Access, Watch and Reserve (AWaRe) classification of antibiotics among frontline healthcare professionals in Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria: a cross-sectional study
There was a notable knowledge deficit in both AMS and the AWaRe classification of antibiotics among participants in this study. This highlights the need for educational interventions targeted at the different cadres of healthcare professionals on the role of AMS programmes in reducing antimicrobial resistance and its consequences.
