The overall objective of the study is to use data-driven approaches to optimize antibiotic use and combat antimicrobial-resistant infections in Uganda.

The Strategy Group for Rational Antibiotic Use and Reduced Antibiotic Resistance (Strama) aims to counteract antibiotic resistance in Sweden by providing recommendations for the treatment of common infections [9] and has accordingly suggested quality indicators for internet-PHC prescribing for common infection diagnoses [9].

Antibiotic resistance is a major public health risk, with more than 35,000 deaths each year in the United States due to antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections [1,2]. Overprescribing and misuse of antibiotics for upper respiratory infections (URIs) remain the most significant combined factors causing antibiotic resistance [3,4]. In the United States, up to 50% of all outpatient antibiotic prescriptions for URIs are inappropriate [5,6].

However, inappropriate antibiotic use has driven a rapid increase in antibiotic resistance, and with the drying up of the pipeline of new antibiotics, a postantibiotic era is imminent [2-4]. Hence, there is a need to reduce antibiotic use by changing physicians’ antibiotic prescribing practices and reducing patient demand through antimicrobial stewardship programs (ASPs).

Sore throat is a common reason for patients to present in primary care and is thought to result in more inappropriate antibiotic prescriptions than any other condition [1]. An average-sized UK general practice, with a practice population size of 7000, has an estimated 548 consultations per year for sore throat, and over half of these will result in an antibiotic prescription [2,3].

Antibiotic stewardship programs in hospitals and community clinics strive to improve rates of appropriate antibiotic prescribing through a wide variety of methods (from clinical decision support tools to educational sessions) both to optimize the treatment of patients with bacterial infections and to reduce inappropriate antibiotic prescribing [1].

Tracking of the spread of antibiotic-resistant microorganisms provides insights into the transmission of antibiotic-resistant strains and resistance genes from humans or animals to the environmental reservoir and back to human use and consumption [4,5]. Studies have suggested that aquatic systems such as drinking water sources [6], wastewater effluents [7], and wastewater discharge from hospitals act as reservoirs for antibiotic-resistant microorganisms [8].

This informs appropriate antibiotic use, development of antimicrobial stewardship programs, and strengthening of infection prevention and control practices as top priorities. Notably, through an ongoing sentinel surveillance program, microbiology capacity has been enhanced in selected RRHs that contribute significantly toward bacterial ID and antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) in Uganda [9].

Antibiotic misuse is a serious public health problem worldwide [1,2]. It exposes patients to the risk of adverse effects and complications, including death [3,4], as well as bacterial resistance [5]. Most antibiotic prescriptions are made in primary care settings.

Impact of Remote Consultations on Antibiotic Prescribing in Primary Health Care: Systematic Review
Evidence for the impact of remote consultations on antibiotic prescribing in primary care is currently unclear. Given the growing international adoption of remote consultations into primary care, which has intensified during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, any impact of remote consultations on antibiotic prescribing needs to be properly understood. This study aims to summarize the impact of remote consultations on primary care antibiotic prescribing.
