  1. MTP experience to reduce injection overuse in Lao PDR Dr. Amphayvanh Panyanouvong Department of Curative Medicine Ministry of Health, Lao PDR

  2. HEALTH FACILITIES • 2 General hospitals • 6 Special hospitals • 5 Regional hospital • 13 Provincial hospitals • 126District hospitals • 596 Health centers

  3. RATIONAL USE OF DRUG • 1992: National Drug Policy 1993 • 1998: Standard Treatment Guideline (FDD- CMD) • 1999: Setting up Drug & Therapeutic Committee (DTC) in 7 central and provincial hospitals, designing & implementation of DTC indicators • 2001: Introduction & implementation of MTP strategy to be used by DTC to improve rational use of drugs in other 5 provincial hospitals

  4. DTC activities in 5 hospitals • Focus on RUD, STG and Drug Consumption • Set up DTC indicators • Collect DTC indicators and feedback to prescribers

  5. Problems with DTC indicators • Lots of efforts (time, energy, money) from MOH to conduct activities • Hospital teams are too dependent to MOH • Activity is not sustainable: no “project” (no funding), no activity • Need to encourage hospital to improve prescribing by themselves 2001: FDD-CMD-University work together to introduce MTP strategy to be used by DTCs as a tool to improve drug use

  6. MTP strategy • Monitoring – Training - Planning • A serial of small group discussions in hospital, involving hospital DTC members and the prescribers who have problems in a particular drug use • Each serial discussion focuses on ONE problem (e.g. high injection use) • Monitoring: collect data by themselves (e.g. % patients receiving injection) • Training: solve the problem (why it is high and what to do to reduce it) • Planning: Setting up the target, i.e., to what level they have to reduce and when they should collect the data again, too see if they are approaching the target

  7. MTP is a continuous activity • 3-4 cycles for each problem P P P P P T T T T T M M M M M MTP meeting MTP cycle
