Effectiveness, safety, and feasibility of outpatient parenteral antimicrobial therapy in a resource-limited setting: A pilot longitudinal study

This pilot study proves that OPAT is safe, feasible, and efficacious by reducing two weeks of hospitalization in resource-poor settings. OPAT contributes directly to antimicrobial stewardship by reducing hospital stays and hospital-acquired complications, which is vital in combating antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and aligns with the global action plan for AMR in infection prevention and optimal antimicrobial utilization.
