The Antibiotic Stewardship Programme through Innovation, Research, and Education (ASPIRE) is a 3-year project funded by LifeArc that aims to optimise antibiotic use in Zambia and Kenya by integrating innovative digital solutions with targeted stewardship interventions. ASPIRE represents an unprecedented leap in antibiotic stewardship, pioneering the integration of AI-driven digital tools to deliver real-time, contextualized, and data-informed recommendations to clinicians in Zambia and Kenya. This initiative marks a ground-breaking step by introducing a dedicated patient application, a novel concept in the regions, designed for self-reporting of adverse events and providing users with crucial treatment context.

Since quarter one, ReAct has moved along with trainings in the four facilities (The University Teaching Hospital (UTH) and Levy Mwanawasa in Zambia and Mama Lucy and AAR Hospital in Kenya.
