| description | The aim of the study was to provide an evidence base about antibiotic use in the general population in Nepal. A mixed methods design was adopted, with data collected across public and private health facilities, and from households and policy makers.

Findings support the adoption of a multifaceted approach combining different strategies to combat inappropriate use. |
