Overview
In its recently released National Action Plan on Antimicrobial Resistance (NAP-AMR) Module for Prescribers 2024, the National Medical Commission (NMC) has advised doctors to treat patients with antibiotics in the presence of diagnostic reports and cases of severity. "The decision to treat with antibiotics should be made by the presence of severity and laboratory report of sputum and culture examination," the Commission stated in the module, adding that the empiric antibiotic therapy must be limited to seriously ill patients.
Medical Dialogues had earlier reported that NMC released the Module for Medical students, Doctors (Residents. Faculty, Medical officers etc.) and allied health professionals (Nurses, Pharmacist, Technicians and other allied health professionals) and administrators, while considering the emerging threats of Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR), which is now one of the top global public health threats facing humanity.
