Bridging the Capacity Building Gap for Antimicrobial Stewardship Implementation: Evidence from Virtual Communities of Practice in Kenya, Ghana, and Malawi
Our findings suggest that a virtual case-based learning educational intervention, providing structured and tailored AMS capacity building, can drive behavior change and strengthen healthcare systems in low resource settings. Future efforts should aim to scale up the engagements and sustain improvements to further strengthen AMS capacity.
