Antimicrobial stewardship programs in primary and secondary care settings in India: current challenges, facilitators, perceptions, and impact – a scoping review
The existing evidence based on adaptation and implementation of AMSP is sparse. This study highlights the urgent need for widespread AMSP in the resource-constraint settings of India. Multipronged approach is crucial to encompass skilled human resources, implement facility-specific interventions, develop accessible guidelines for antibiotic use, providing economic support and increasing awareness through capacity-building programs, and can attain effective establishment of AMSPs.
