Antimicrobial stewardship in Africa: A policy analysis of national action plans across five African countries

2026Open accessKwara State University

Abstract

Antimicrobial stewardship (AMS) is central to antimicrobial resistance (AMR) control, yet its prioritization varies across Africa. We analyzed AMS components of five African National Action Plans on AMR against global and regional policy benchmarks, identifying areas of alignment and critical gaps that should inform future AMR strategies.
