Doctors’ perceptions of antimicrobial resistance in the Northern West Bank, Palestine: a qualitative study
Doctors' appreciation of the severity of the issue, and willingness for the expansion of existing programmes targeted at their own prescribing practices, provides a strong foundation for successful ASPs. A top-down approach to prevent inappropriate antibiotic prescribing is welcomed by participating doctors. If financial and resource limitations could be addressed, a continued multifaceted approach may enable physician, pharmacist and patient behaviours to change.
