The WHO core elements in a form a 50-bed hospital can actually run: one committee, one pharmacist-hour a day, four interventions, three numbers
What it is
A one-page programme design for facilities with no stewardship programme: governance, the minimum team, the four starter interventions (AWaRe formulary, time-out, restricted list, prophylaxis rule), the three metrics, and the first-year calendar.
