COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF ANTIBIOTIC CONSUMPTION IN MULTIDISCIPLINARY HOSPITALS IN ALMATY PERSPECTIVES ON AWARE AND ABC...

to investigate possible links between antibiotic consumption levels, with subsequent improvement of approaches to enhance antibiotic use effectiveness and curb antibiotic resistance growth.

the inclusion criteria were antibacterial drugs for systemic use.

In this study, we selected 2 multidisciplinary hospitals in Almaty. Financial statements for antibacterial drugs from the last two years (2021-2022) were received. The distribution of antibiotics was analyzed using ABC analysis, antibiotic consumption was assessed, and the AWARE classification proposed by WHO was investigated. In modern medicine, antibiotic resistance is becoming a serious problem. Medical hospitals face the challenge of using antibiotics effectively. The study of strategies such as the AWARE Classification (ACCESS, WATCH, RESERVE) and ABC Analysis helps to optimize the use of antibiotics, curb resistance and save resources of medical organizations, ensuring long-term treatment effectiveness and patient satisfaction. Presented by the World Health Organization, the AWARE classification has been in place since 2019. Many countries, including Kazakhstan, have not yet implemented AWaRe. This article highlights the need for an AWaRe tool to ensure optimal antibiotic use and reduce antibiotic resistance.
