The antibiotic procurement saga: a long-neglected stewardship target to combat antimicrobial resistance in Pakistan by Shairyar Afzal, Mishal Bajwa, Nabeel Ahmed, Jawaria Jabeen, Mian Shahzeb Haroon, Rana Muhammad Zahid Mushtaq, Zikria Saleem

“…Results The study identified five central themes: (1) The state of antibiotic use in hospitals is characterized by a lack of antibiotic use policy, resulting in mostly empirical and irrational prescribing practices. (2) Medicine availability significantly influences prescribing decisions, often taking precedence over clinical needs. (3) The procurement process, although structured, is flawed owing to rigid adherence to the Standard Medicine List (SML). (4) Rationality in procurement is compromised by disregard for AMR, with decisions driven more by cost and demand than clinical evidence. (5) The clinical acumen of pharmacists is underutilized in procurement due to multifarious barriers. …”
