“…The prevalence of AMR in LMICs is closely linked to the weak regulatory compliance surrounding self-medication with antibiotics. Despite a legal framework in many LMICs that prohibit dispensing antibiotics without a valid medical prescription, OTC sales of antibiotics are frequent [ 60 ]. As a consequence of the new and increasing problem posed by AMR; governments worldwide have implemented new National Action Plans (NAPs) to combat it [ 61 ].…”

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a global public health crisis that impedes the therapeutic effectiveness of available antimicrobial agents. Due to the high burden of infectious diseases and limited resources, especially trained healthcare professionals, low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) are particularly susceptible to the detrimental effects of AMR. Sometimes, as the first and last point of contact for patients seeking treatment for infections, community pharmacists can play a pivotal role in the stewardship required for AMR. This review aims to highlight the contributions made by community pharmacists in LMICs as AMR stewards. The review considers the challenges from the perspectives of limited resources, inadequate training, a lack of policies and regulations, and issues related to patient behavior. Community pharmacists in LMICs could optimize their advocacy contributions by focusing on One Health AMR stewardship. Transformational and actionable patient and population-centric antimicrobial stewardship (AMS) is feasible with the synergy of policymakers and other healthcare providers in the implementation of AMS policies and programs that support community pharmacists in their efforts to promote rational antimicrobial use.
