Evaluation of infection prevention and antibiotic stewardship programs at a tertiary-care hospital in Southwest Ethiopia: An opportunity to leverage the synergy

Attention is required to strengthen HAIs surveillance, tracking of antibiotic uses, and education and training. The overlap between IPC and ASPs presents an opportunity for future collaborative efforts to enhance both programs.
