Eight years of antibiotic consumption at a primary care outpatient facility in Trinidad and Tobago 2011-18: a synopsis of consumption trends.

Trinidad and Tobago is not mentioned in the WHO surveillance report on antibiotic consumption. Our most recent (2018) estimate of total antibiotic consumption was 3.224 DDD per 1000 habitants per day. This figure is an underestimate, as data was derived solely from the public sector. Notwithstanding, this data is novel and can provide a baseline for future comparison and development of national surveillance programmes.
