  8. Antibiotic resistance in Ukraine can be a serious problem, the importance of which is underestimated • In Ukraine antibiotics are sold in pharmacies without a prescription • Antibiotics: • are prescribed by a physician; • are advised by a pharmacist; • are advised by other patients, relatives, friends, etc.

  9. Antibiotic prescription is regulated by • official documentsof the Ministry of Health of Ukraine – “Protocols of medical care…” for some medical specialties (identified major groups of antibiotics, which can be prescribed and duration of their admission)

  10. In addition to official documents the prescription of antibiotics is based on: • physician’s own experiences from practice; • experience of their colleagues; • information of the medical representatives of pharmaceutical companies, who advertise and aggressively promote their products.

  11. Monitoring of antibiotic resistance - • for surgical postoperative infections:regulated by Order of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine № 236 dated 04.04.2012; • for obstetric hospitals - by Order of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine №234 dated 10.05.2007

  12. The Orders are not performed in most hospitals because of: • lack of funding; • lack of approved methods of microbiological studies; • lack of awareness and interest of physicians and health care leaders; • lack of control of the sanitary-epidemiological service, which is in the process of reform, etc.
