The new Plan gives continuity to the two previous plans that were in force from 2014 to 2021, and includes clear and precise measures to work on for the coming years.
The plan establishes 6 strategic lines that cover different relevant aspects to meet the objectives:
- surveillance of antibiotic use
- control of antibacterial resistance
- prevention measures
- promotion of research
- training and information for health professionals, and
- communication and public awareness.
Within the surveillance of antibiotic use, a series of actions are carried out, among which is the development of computer systems for the control of antibiotic treatments linked to livestock farming, where the Central Computer System for the Control of Veterinary Antibiotic Prescriptions (Presvet) is found, a tool for the monitoring and surveillance of antibiotic prescriptions on livestock farms in order to adopt the necessary measures for their control.
