APUA-Georgia was founded in February of 2003. It was founded in affiliation with the Service of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy by the members of the Infectious Disease Department of Tbilisi Medical Academy. The chapter’s membership includes physicians from the Scientific Research Institute of Pediatrics, as well as the Sepsis Research Center and the Center of Infectious Pathology. The APUA-Georgia chapter’s ultimate goals include:
- Implementing periodic training of heath care workers who are eligible to prescribe drugs.
- Encouraging the involvement of national and international agencies in technical training, education and research related to the prudent use of antibiotics.
- Facilitating research on antimicrobial prescribing in children with respiratory tract infections in Georgia.
- Developing the national antibiotic guidelines, which will assist individual health and veterinary institutions to formulate local antibiotic guidelines.
- Requiring that antibiotics used for therapeutic purpose in humans and animals not to be used as growth promoters or prophylactic agents in animal feed.
The chapter produces a periodic publication for physicians entitled the Bulletin of Antimicrobial Therapy.
