Antibiotic stewardship is a vital strategy to address antibiotic resistance by promoting responsible antibiotic use. It is aimed at improving patient outcomes, reducing resistance, minimizing adverse effects, and lowering healthcare costs. Collaborative efforts among healthcare professionals from various disciplines are crucial for its successful implementation. Recognizing value beyond immediate financial benefits is important. Committed leadership, designated pharmacists, action plans, tracking, reporting, and education are essential elements. Prioritizing and implementing comprehensive stewardship programs are necessary to combat antibiotic resistance and protect public health.
