With funding from the Global Antibiotic Research & Development Partnership (GARDP)*, Epicentre has conducted a quantitative and qualitative study to find out more about the use of antibiotics in pediatrics in resource-limited countries, and in particular what informs the choices healthcare workers make when prescribing antibiotics to children.
