DMPQ- AwaRe Initiative.

The World Health Organization (WHO) has launched a global campaign that urges countries to adopt its new online tool known as ‘AWaRe’.  The tool is aimed at guiding policy-makers and health workers to use antibiotics safely and more effectively. It’s another objective is to limit drugs that are at risk of resistance.  The tool ‘AWaRe’ classifies antibiotics into three groups a) Access— antibiotics used to treat the most common and serious infections b) Watch— antibiotics available at all times in the healthcare system and c) Reserve— antibiotics to be used sparingly or preserved and used only as a last resort.  The campaign aims to achieve a 60% increase in the use of antibiotics under the Access group which are cheap drugs that target a specific microorganism rather than several.
