Surveillance of antimicrobial consumption: methodological review for systems development in Thailand

چکیده
To optimize use of antimicrobial agents in human and animal, as recommended by the WHO Global Action Plan [3], countries need to develop a sustainable system which monitors their consumption and disseminate the information for policy decision. For example, France had a high human antibiotic use in the EU, and implemented a national campaign which resulted in a significant reduction in consumption [4]. This paper reviews international approaches on surveillance of antimicrobial consumption in human and animal, analyzes antimicrobial sales reporting systems and assesses how the surveillance system can be developed and sustained in Thailand.
