Feasibility of an antimicrobial stewardship program in four district hospitals in Vietnam
AMS interventions were feasible to implement in district hospitals in Vietnam and resulted in modest reductions in antimicrobial consumption and all-cause mortality. However, the persistently high rates of inappropriate prescribing highlight the need for broader implementation and strengthening of stewardship efforts to more effectively address key drivers of antimicrobial resistance at the district level.
