Self-medication and non-adherence to antibiotic prescription and associated factors among Myanmar migrants in Thailand: a cross-sectional study

High levels of inappropriate antibiotic use among Myanmar migrants highlight the need to integrate migrants into Thailand's national action plan on AMR. The high prevalence of antibiotic misuse among Myanmar migrants highlights the need to include migrants in Thailand's national plan to combat antimicrobial resistance. To improve patient understanding and adherence to treatment, healthcare professionals should provide medication guidelines and education on the risks of antimicrobial resistance. Policymakers should focus future policies and interventions on providing interpretation services and establishing institutional mechanisms to ensure migrants' access to healthcare.
