First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study helps 54 public hospitals in Brazil set up programs to use antibiotics more wisely. The goal is to fight antibiotic resistance, which makes infections harder to treat. Hospitals get training, support, and tools to improve their antibiotic practices. The study measures whether these programs work and if they save money.
