Minister of Health of UkraineAccording to the Public Health Center, almost 64% of people mistakenly believe that acute viral infectious diseases and the common cold can be treated with antibiotics. As a result, antibacterial drugs are misused, which causes them to lose their effectiveness and provide less and less protection against serious infections.
According to the health minister, launching an electronic prescription for antibiotics will solve the problem of uncontrolled and inappropriate use of medicines and help prevent the development of resistance to antimicrobial drugs.
