E-drug: Drug prescribing in NIS countries
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
A drug prescribing indicator study, based on WHO methodology
"How to investigate drug use in health facilities" has been carried
out in Tajikistan. First results showed high usage of antibiotics and
injections. Currently the data are evaluated to identify particular
areas of inappropriate drug use.
Drug prescribing practices in former Soviet Republics are expected
to show similarities. I am therefore interested in prescribing studies
carried out in this region. This could also result in common
approaches for drug use interventions.
I look forward to hearing about your experiences.
