From: Situational analysis of antibiotic use and resistance in Ghana: policy and regulation
Number | Issues |
---|---|
1 | There is legal framework designed to control distribution and use of antibiotics in humans. Such a design could not be said for the control, distribution and use of antibiotics in veterinary and aquaculture practice. |
2 | Lack of records on the use of antibiotics in veterinary and aquaculture. |
3 | There is distribution of antibiotics from unapproved sources. |
4 | Absence of policy directives on veterinary use of antibiotics with focus on Acceptable Daily Intake (ADIs) of antibiotics, Maximum Residue Limits (MRLs) and withdrawal periods |
5 | There is no national surveillance system on antimicrobial use and resistance |
