Main Purpose
Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) / Doctors Without Borders has increased its focus on the problem of antibiotic resistance. Antibiotic resistance (ABR) is growing rapidly in low and middle-income countries and MSF faces ongoing challenges managing antibiotic resistant infections in hospitalized patients particularly in patients with burns, trauma, hospital infections and in pediatric and neonatal care. ABR threatens patient outcomes, makes hospitals less safe and increases costs. MSF is committed to responding and one part of this response is to increase efforts to conserve the effectiveness of antibiotics through antibiotic stewardship.
In this hospital, this profile will serve to implement the antibiotic stewardship program in close collaboration and support of the expat antibiotic stewardship doctor. He/ She also has the responsibility of monitoring and management of IPD patients with existing medical comorbidities/ complications arising from the surgical management, and the referral to a specialized tertiary healthcare facility for intensive care follow-up as needed.
