Goal
The project aims to develop open-access analyses and tools to guide national and local antibiotic prescribing policies. Key objectives include developing a methodology for deriving AWaRe-based national antibiotic targets, AWaRe quality indicators, methodology for collecting antibiotic prescribing data in primary healthcare, and for estimating expected antibiotic use in hospital and primary care based on clinical burden.

What we did
By integrating data on antibiotic use, resistance, clinical diagnoses, and outcomes, ADILA aims to guide empiric prescribing and antibiotic use targets based on the AWaRe system. The project has developed tools to support data-driven antibiotic use in primary healthcare and hospitals, as well as inform national policies. Together, these efforts promote more effective, locally relevant antibiotic use.
