Abstract

The aim. Develop policy options to improve the rational use of medicines by assessing antibiotic consumption to address antibiotic resistance in the Republic of Kazakhstan. We used the data of the Republican Center for Healthcare Development’s report on the assessment of the consumption of antibiotics in the Republic of Kazakhstan, purchased by the Single Distributor within the guaranteed volume of free medical care for 2019, in comparison with the period 2017-2018. Three policy options have been developed: 1. Improving the rational prescription and use of antibacterial drugs. 2. Raising awareness and understanding of antimicrobial resistance issues through information policy and increased training 3. Strengthening control of prescription dispensing of antibacterial drugs in pharmacies. For each policy option, measures are identified to achieve them, as well as possible barriers. A combined implementation of each policy option is necessary, as this issue requires a systematic approach. The implementation of all points of measures will contribute to ensuring the use of antibacterials rationally, according to strict therapeutic indications, with an individual selection of dosages and will exclude self-medication with antibiotics, which in turn will help prevent antibiotic resistance in the future and will give a chance for effective, high-quality and successful treatment of bacterial infections. Key words: medicines, systemic antibiotics, consumption of antibiotics, antibiotic resistance, rational use of medicines, Kazakhstan.

通过评估抗生素消费促进药物合理使用，解决哈萨克斯坦共和国抗生素耐药性问题

的目标。制定政策方案，通过评估抗生素消费来改善药物的合理使用，以解决哈萨克斯坦共和国的抗生素耐药性问题。我们使用了共和国医疗保健发展中心关于评估哈萨克斯坦共和国抗生素消费的报告的数据，该报告由单一分销商在2019年免费医疗保障量内购买，并与2017-2018年期间进行了比较。已经制定了三种政策选择:1。提高抗菌药物的合理处方和使用。2. 通过信息政策和加强培训，提高对抗菌素耐药性问题的认识和理解。加强药店抗菌药物处方调配管理。对于每个政策选项，都确定了实现它们的措施，以及可能存在的障碍。每项政策方案都必须综合实施，因为这个问题需要一个系统的办法。所有措施的实施将有助于确保合理使用抗生素，根据严格的治疗指征，单独选择剂量，并将排除使用抗生素自我用药，这反过来将有助于预防未来的抗生素耐药性，并将为有效、高质量和成功治疗细菌感染提供机会。关键词:药物，全身性抗生素，抗生素消费，抗生素耐药性，合理用药，哈萨克斯坦。
