Overview

Retrospective descriptive study analyzes antibiotic procurement trends and expenditure impacts in LMICs, highlighting antimicrobial resistance challenges.

Key Points

  • A steady increase in antibiotic procurement was seen, with expenditures rising by 35.83% in 2021 and 59.35% in 2022 compared to 2020.
  • Category A antibiotics accounted for 12.20% of purchases in 2020 but over 68% of total expenditure, highlighting a significant cost burden.
  • A retrospective descriptive study employed ABC analysis to assess antibiotic procurement data at Benjamin Mkapa Hospital from 2020 to 2022.
  • Conclusions suggest that decreasing the consumption of Reserve antibiotics may help in avoiding antimicrobial resistance.
