Irrational use of antibiotics is the key contributor to antibiotic resistance. To improve the administration of antibiotics, many programs have been designed at national and international levels; and antibiotic stewardship (ABS) is one of them.The aim of this study was to create awareness and understanding of antibiotic stewardship by estimating its knowledge, attitude and practice (K.A.P) among health care professionals in health care facilities across Gujarat. A cross-sectional descriptive study was carried out among health care professionals in health care facilities across Gujarat. For which a self-administered questionnaire with 15 closed-ended questions with two sections: “Optimal antibiotic use” (no.1-7 questions); and “Responsible antibiotic use” (no.8-15 questions) was disseminated online/ in electronic form. In Dental practitioners, mean scores of knowledge, attitude, practice (K.A.P) regarding “Optimal antibiotic use” and “Responsible antibiotic use” are 6.3682 ± 0.96, 6.2139 ± 1.07, 4.5672 ± 1.51 and 7.1692 ± 1.09, 6.9104 ± 1.25, 5.1443 ± 1.81 respectively.In Medical practitioners, mean scores of knowledge, attitude, practice (K.A.P) regarding “Optimal antibiotic use” and “Responsible antibiotic use” are 6.8201 ± 0.41, 6.7090 ± 0.56, 5.1270 ± 1.62 and 7.6032 ± 0.69, 7.4233 ± 0.82, 5.3492 ± 1.94 respectively.Between the groups, knowledge and attitude regarding “Optimal antibiotic use” and “Responsible antibiotic use” are statistically highly significant (p-value = <0.001). Health care professionals showed higher knowledge as compared to attitude with least practice (K>A>P) regarding antibiotic stewardship in health care facilities across Gujarat. Antibiotic stewardship is fulcrum for the dual face of antibiotics. Equilibrium between individual and societal benefit/risk ratio while making clinical antibiotic decisions will benefit both; individual patients as well as the community.

ObjectivesTo provide information on the effect of the coronavirus disease of 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic on people with epilepsy and provide consensus recommendations on how to provide the best possible care for people with epilepsy while avoiding visits to urgent care facilities and hospitalizations during the novel coronavirus pandemic.MethodsThe authors developed consensus statements in 2 sections. The first was “How should we/clinicians modify our clinical care pathway for people with epilepsy during the COVID-19 pandemic?” The second was “What general advice should we give to people with epilepsy during this crisis? The authors individually scored statements on a scale of −10 (strongly disagree) to +10 (strongly agree). Five of 11 recommendations for physicians and 3/5 recommendations for individuals/families were rated by all the authors as 7 or above (strongly agree) on the first round of rating. Subsequently, a teleconference was held where statements for which there was a lack of strong consensus were revised.ResultsAfter revision, all consensus recommendations received a score of 7 or above. The recommendations focus on administration of as much care as possible at home to keep people with epilepsy out of health care facilities, where they are likely to encounter COVID-19 (including strategies for rescue therapy), as well as minimization of risk of seizure exacerbation through adherence, and through ensuring a regular supply of medication. We also provide helpful links to additional helpful information for people with epilepsy and health providers.ConclusionThese recommendations may help health care professionals provide optimal care to people with epilepsy during the coronavirus pandemic.

Low And Middle Income

SummaryCatastrophic spending on health care through out-of-pocket payment is a huge problem in most low- and middle-income countries all over the world. The collapse of health systems and poverty have resulted in the proliferation of the private health sector in Cambodia, but very few studies have examined the fairness in ease of utilization of these services based on mode of payment. This study examined the utilization of health services for sickness or injury and identified its relationship with people's ability to pay for treatment seeking at various instances. Based on cross-sectional data from the Cambodian 2007 Demographic and Health Survey, the economic index estimated through principal component analysis and Lorenz curve was used to quantify the degree of fairness and equality in utilization and payment burden among the respondents. A distinct level of fairness was found in health care utilization and out-of-pocket payments. Specifically, use of private health care facilities and over-the-counter remedies dominate, and out-of-pocket payments cut across all socioeconomic strata. As many countries in low- and middle-income regions, and most importantly those in transition such as Cambodia, are repositioning their health systems, efforts should be made towards maintaining equitable access through adoption of finance mechanisms that make utilization of health care services fair and equitable.

Data collection was carried out by in-depth interview to responsible pharmacists who did medicines management, and exit interview to patients after they received medicines services from government hospitals and primary health cares. The results showed that pharmaceutical practices needed by the health care facilities were good medicines planning andprocurement that can maintain the continuity of the availability of medicine stocks needed for patients, and the ability in managing medicines effi ciently and eff ectively. Moreover, the pharmaceutical practices needed by the communities were medicines completeness, quick services, as well as simple and complete medicines information. It is recommended that pharmacists should be trained on comprehensive medicines planning, strategy to anticipate the emptiness of medicines including lead times, and communication skills to the patients. In addition, IT supports for pharmacy services development is also needed. Abstrak Telah dilakukan studi mengenai praktik kefarmasian di fasilitas pelayanan kesehatan yang bertujuan mengidentifikasi pelayanan kefarmasian yang dibutuhkan pasien dan fasilitas pelayanan kesehatan. Kegiatan studi dilaksanakan di Jawa Tengah, Bali, Kalimantan Selatan, Sulawesi Selatan. Dari masing-masing propinsi di atas dipilih satu kota dan satu kabupaten. Studi dilakukan pada tahun 2016. Lokasi penelitian adalah rumah sakit pemerintah, rumah sakit swasta, puskesmas dan apotek dengan desain potong lintang. Pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui wawancara mendalam terhadap apoteker penanggung jawab/pengelola obat, dan exit interview terhadap pasien rumah sakit pemerintah dan puskesmas yang baru selesai menerima pelayanan obat. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan praktik kefarmasian yang dibutuhkan oleh fasilitas pelayanan kesehatan adalah perencanaan dan pengadaan obat yang baik yang dapat menjaga kesinambungan ketersediaan stok obat yang diperlukan bagi pelayanan ke pasien serta pengelolaan obat yang efektif dan efi sien. Praktikkefarmasian yang dibutuhkan masyarakat adalah tersedianya obat lengkap, kecepatan pelayanan, dan informasi obat yang singkat padat. Disarankan perlunya pelatihan perencanaan obat yang lebih komprehensif, kiat-kiat mengantisipasi kekosongan obat dan lamanya pengiriman, serta pelatihan cara berkomunikasi yang baik kepada pasien secara menyeluruh. Selain itu, dukungan teknologi informasi bagi pengembangan pelayanan farmasi juga dibutuhkan.
