HEALTH authorities have launched a nationwide program to educate 45,000 doctors in a bid to curb the abuse of antibiotics in public hospitals. Experts from a committee on the rational use of drugs will train health workers in medical facilities at or below county level throughout the country.
"The two-year program will aim to step up the management of anti-bacteria medicine, slow the increase in drug-resistance, and ultimately realize the safe, effective and economic use of antibiotics," said health ministry spokesman Zhao Minggang, adding misuse of antibiotics is a major problem in China and costs 80 billion yuan (US$11.7 billion).
