Health professional and facility engagement in antimicrobial resistance prevention and containment strategic initiatives at public hospitals in Southern Ethiopia: facility-based cross-sectional study

In the study area, professional and facility engagement in AMR PCSIs was low. Providing training on infection prevention and control, healthcare waste handling, One Health approach, antimicrobial stewardship for all and disseminating national strategic initiatives to all levels in the healthcare system are important. Researchers willing to work in similar areas must use mixed-method study designs to evaluate the engagement of all (human, animal and environmental) stakeholders toward AMR PCSIs.
