Essential medicines are medicines that are basic and essential for health needs of the people. They should be accessible at all times at affordable price. The WHO essential list of medicines serves as a blueprint for countries to develop their own lists. With antibiotic stewardship in mind, WHO categorized antibiotics into three groups: Access, Watch and Reserve. Join us today at 7pm on Dr KK's Medtalks show for a discussion on essential medicines with special focus on the Access group of antibiotics.
