A cross-sectional survey of antimicrobial stewardship in the healthcare facilities of the South West Region of Cameroon
Although the rate is still low, there is good progress in implementation of AMS activities with most activities either fully or partially implemented; however, no health facility included AMS activities in their annual plans with key performance indicators, no management of any hospital allocated financial and human resources to initiate AMS activities. Strengthening institutional commitment and AMS training are recommended.
