58 Summary 57 Pharmaceutical policy reform separating prescription and dispensation of drugs, assessment and public reporting of antibiotic prescription rate for URI and surgical antibiotic prophylaxis for each institution have been very effective to improve antibiotic usage. Antimicrobial stewardship programs in hospitals, mostly dependent on restriction and approval system have been used in most tertiary hospitals and a small proportion of general hospitals. Computerized decision support system for antibiotic prescription has been developed and utilized successfully in some tertiary hospitals. Public campaign for appropriate antibiotic use has been launched and will be in alignment with implementation of domestic action plans.
