Approximately 30% of all antimicrobial prescriptions in Malaysian hospitals are inappropriate.

Antimicrobial Stewardship (AMS) aims to improve patient outcomes and safety whilst reducing antimicrobial resistance.

Antimicrobial Stewardship (AMS) is about the getting the right antibiotic to the right patient at the right time, in the right dose, via the right route for the right duration with the right documentation.
