Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) remains an important global public health issue with antimicrobial misuse and overuse being one of the main drivers. The Global Point Prevalence Survey (G-PPS) Consumption Resistance assesses prevalence quality prescriptions across hospitals globally. G-PPS was carried out at 17 Ghana, Uganda, Zambia Tanzania. overall use 50% (30–57%), most antibiotics prescribed belonging to WHO ‘Access’ ‘Watch’ categories. No ‘Reserve’ category study sites while...
Context: The implementation of the Universal Health Coverage (UHC) promotes access to quality health care delivery through cost-effective initiatives ensure good and wellbeing without discrimination. This study examines government finance, budgetary allocation, expenditure as key development indicators towards achieving UHC in Nigeria. Evidence Acquisition: Data analyzed were gotten from journal articles, reports other secondary sources. Searches conducted PubMed, Google Scholar, WHO Library...
Background: During the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, emergence of Omicron SARS-CoV2 variant raised concerns about reduction in vaccine effectiveness due to its higher transmissibility. Thus, using ecologic data, we assessed population-level impact COVID-19 vaccination coverage on transmission and mortality, during period dominance globally. Subject methods: We used a longitudinal dataset 110 countries over 16 months (January 2022 April 2023). Applying random-effects...

The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic, which has significant impact on global health care delivery, occurs amid the ongoing crisis of antimicrobial resistance. Early data demonstrated that bacterial and fungal co-infection with COVID-19 remain low indiscriminate use antimicrobials during pandemic may worsen resistance It is, therefore, essential to maintain effort stewardship activities in all sectors globally.
In recent years, health partnerships have shared infection prevention and control innovations between United Kingdom hospitals Low-Middle-Income Countries. However, none had focused on antimicrobial stewardship (AMS), a core component of tackling resistance (AMR). This paper documents an effective approach to developing program increase AMS capacity in four African countries: Ghana, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia as part the Commonwealth Partnerships for Antimicrobial Stewardship (CwPAMS) program....
Smartphone apps have proven to be an effective and acceptable resource for accessing information on antimicrobial prescribing. The purpose of the study is highlight development implementation a smartphone/mobile app (app) prescribing guidelines (the Commonwealth Partnerships Antimicrobial Stewardship-CwPAMS App) in Ghana, Tanzania, Uganda Zambia evaluate patients' healthcare providers' perspectives use App one participating institutions. Two structured cross-sectional questionnaires...
Antimicrobial stewardship (AMS) initiatives promote the responsible use of antimicrobials in healthcare settings as a key measure to curb global threat antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Defining core elements AMS is essential for developing and evaluating comprehensive programmes. This project used co-creation Delphi consensus procedures adapt extend existing published international checklist. The overall objective was arrive at contextualised checklist behaviours within Sub-Saharan Africa,...
Abstract Background The goal of Universal Health Coverage (UHC) is to ensure that everyone able obtain the health services they need without suffering financial hardship.
