Overview

Mixed-methods evaluation of antimicrobial resistance in Kenya reveals resource challenges and improvement areas.

Key Points

  • To assess the integration and effectiveness of antimicrobial resistance surveillance at primary healthcare facilities in Kenya.
  • Mixed-methods approach including quantitative AMR testing and qualitative staff interviews.
  • Standardised protocols were used for AMR testing.
  • Assessment of system implementation and perceived impact on healthcare delivery.
  • Resistance rates increased from 25% to 35%, particularly in Escherichia coli strains.
  • Staff identified challenges in resource availability and training.
  • Surveillance system improved data collection but highlighted needs for better resource allocation.
