Gestion des antibiotiques en milieu hospitalier : cas de l’EPH Oued el Othmane

Abstract

Algeria has set up a programme to prevent and control the use of antibiotics against infectious diseases, particularly those associated with care. We carried out a descriptive and analytical cross-sectional study based on data from the EPH Oued El Othmania archives during the year 2019. After analyzing the collected sample, 16 antibiotics were used, among which cephalosporins were the most used class, the prescription rate of antibiotic for patients admitted is 80%, with an overall cost of 8051271,00 DA which represents 12% of the budget allocated to the purchase of pharmaceutical products. The rationalization of antibiotic use has become imperative in health facilities to prevent the threat of bacterial resistance and reduce the cost of antibiotic therapy
