Dear Doctor,

The Centre of Health Protection (CHP) has updated the Guidance Notes on Antibiotic Use for family doctors and healthcare professionals under the Antibiotic Stewardship Programme (ASP) in Primary Care. The updated Notes include antibiotic treatment of acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, acute otitis media, acute rhinosinusitis and community-acquired pneumonia. You may find the latest guidelines in CHP’s website.

In light of raising patients’ awareness of appropriate antimicrobial use, the ASP has also prepared patient education materials for healthcare providers, you may access here for requesting the materials.

Should you have any enquiries regarding the GOPC PPP, please feel free to contact us at gopcppp@ha.org.hk or via the Programme hotline 2300 7300 (after selecting language, press 5 to speak directly with our hotline staff).

Yours faithfully,
GOPC PPP Programme Office
