We are pleased to announce the upcoming Global-PPS Annual Meeting, organised in collaboration with bioMérieux. The meeting will take place on Friday, 17 April 2026 (09:30–13:00 CEST) during the first day of ESCMID Global 2026 in Munich, Germany.

Our testimonials give a voice to experts working on the ground, sharing first-hand experiences with the Global-PPS tool. In this article, we speak with Dr. Ralalicia Limato, a medical doctor, health systems researcher, and a key contributor to the drive-AMS project in Indonesia. She reflects on the challenge of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in the country and explains how the Global-PPS has evolved from a research tool into a cornerstone of Indonesia’s national surveillance system for antimicrobial use and healthcare-associated infections.

Antimicrobial stewardship discussions often focus on hospitals, yet the majority of antibiotics are prescribed outside the inpatient setting. The Global-PPS Outpatient Module was created to close this critical knowledge gap. To support teams in implementing the Outpatient Survey, the G-PPS team has developed a wealth of resources, offering clear guidance, training, and practical tools.
