First Dose

Inspiration

I ran into a strange fact while researching this problem: the algorithm to fix it has existed since 2011, and the software to run it is free and open-source — and hospitals still aren't using it. Only two of ten Nepali laboratories were still using WHONET (the free antibiogram tool) two years after being trained on it. In Ghana, roughly one in two hospital patients get their first antibiotic dose with no local resistance data behind the choice at all.
