Antibiotic use and quality indicators of antibiotic prescription in Bhutan: a point prevalence survey using the Australian National Antimicrobial Prescribing Survey tool.

This study identified key areas for targeted interventions in antimicrobial stewardship programmes in Bhutan. The prevalence of antibiotic use, indications for use, and drug choices were similar to data from other countries. Documentation plans for durations of use, prolonged surgical prophylaxis and concordance of choices with guideline recommendations present opportunities for improvement.
