Conclusions: Capturing, Sustaining, Spreading and Researching Change

This chapter summarises the overall impacts of the Maternal Sepsis Intervention reflecting on the processes of capturing, sustaining and spreading best practice in antimicrobial stewardship. It argues that sustainability is achievable when an intervention reduces hospital costs and, in such cases, the responsibility or sustainability rests with LMIC institutions. Key barriers to sustainability include supply chain weaknesses and human resource limitations. The chapter recommends the use of Public–Private Partnerships to help to overcome these barriers.
