The
chapter was founded in 1998 and has been actively working for rational
antibiotic use. Bulgarian chapter members have been instrumental in
influencing policy in Bulgaria by participating in the development of
a National Program for Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance and Rational
Antibiotic Policy. The Expert Committee on Antibiotic Policy, which
consisted of 11 APUA-Bulgaria representatives, developed a national
program which has been approved by the Ministry of Health. APUA was
fortunate to be able to sponsor the chapter coordinator to attend the
10th Annual ICID Meeting and APUA Symposium "Towards Controlling
Antimicrobial Use and Resistance in Low-Income Countries" in Singapore
in March of 2002 through the generosity of a grant from The Wellcome
Trust.
