According to the data of national studies, there is a widespread overuse of ceftriaxone and levofloxacin in Ukraine, which reduces the effectiveness of these antibiotics in the fight against infectious diseases.
In response to this, the Ministry of Health made changes to the Standard "Rational use of antibacterial and antifungal drugs for therapeutic and preventive purposes."
We draw the attention of doctors that:
- ceftriaxone and levofloxacin were transferred to antibiotics of the reserve group (according to the WHO AWaRe classification);
- the principles of antibiotic selection are defined in accordance with the results of bacteriological research;
- the possibility of intramuscular administration of antibiotics is provided when it is necessary;
- a regular evaluation of hospitals by specialists of the Center for the Prevention and Control of Hospitals according to four quality indicators has been introduced.
