Global collaborations in antimicrobial stewardship: All hands on deck

Tackling antimicrobial resistance (AMR) through antimicrobial stewardship (AMS) interventions is a key objective within the World Health Organization (WHO)’s Global Action on AMR. We outline the reasons why global collaborations for AMS are needed. We provide examples of global collaborations, and we offer considerations when starting on a global health journey focused on AMS.

In this article, we highlight some examples of international collaborative AMS efforts that the authors have been involved in, and we identify opportunities for stewards to learn from and apply in their own practices.
