About this document

Improving Rational Antibiotic Use in Botswana by goyeniran is a document available to read on EtoBox.

Rational use of antibiotics in Botswana needs improvement as antibiotics are limited resources but commonly self-purchased, leading to overuse and antimicrobial resistance. Examples of irrational antibiotic use include using longer durations than needed, unnecessary combinations when one drug could work, and broad-spectrum use when narrow-spectrum would suffice. This overuse could result in infections resistant to all antibiotics becoming a major global cause of death by 2050 unless rational use improves.
