Antibiotic prescription rates ranged from 20% in Lebanon to 30% in both West Bank and Syria. As shown in Figure 36, <strong>the</strong> rate <strong>of</strong><br />
antibiotic prescription was sustained in <strong>the</strong> Gaza Strip and Lebanon. There was an obvious decline in both Jordan and West Bank<br />
mainly due to <strong>the</strong> investment on this issue and intensive follow-up and supervision at <strong>Health</strong> Centre level carried out by <strong>the</strong> Field<br />
Drug <strong>the</strong>rapeutic committee. It should be noted that <strong>the</strong> rate <strong>of</strong> antibiotic prescription shown for Syria has increased in comparison<br />
with 2009. This is because in this Field <strong>the</strong> antibiotic prescription rate was calculated starting from April 2009.<br />
