Optimising microbiological diagnosis and rational antimicrobial therapy in Ghana and Republic of the Ivory Coast

University and Hospital Partnerships in AfricaPatient safety

The focus of the proposed project is on practical training for hospital and laboratory personnel. Workshops and training courses are organised in which the German, African and other partners will take part. With the help of a record of the current procedures applied in the key medical areas, interventions will be planned on the rational use of anti-infectives. Developing and expanding microbiological diagnosis will enable the partner hospital to offer standardised microbiological diagnosis (urine and blood culture) and, building on this, to offer a targeted antimicrobial therapy.
