Antibiotic use and resistance – a Global overview
Antibiotic use and prevalence of multi drug resistant bacteria are increasing worldwide, as are morbidity and
mortality of bacterial diseases. In developing countries, many patients do not have access to effective antibiotics.
Simultaneously in some areas there is uncontrolled excess use and at least half of all antibiotics is sold without a
antibiotic era, but a global strategy against resistance is lacking.

Lithuanian PHC – System, Financing and Development
Main features of Lithuanian primary health care system will be presented, including main challenges and
opportunities to improve the quality off primary health care services. Financing of primary health care services is
combined capitation fee with fee for service elements and bonuses for good results and is in the process of
continuous improvement. Nevertheless there are a lot of burdens for family doctors due to increasing flow of
patients with NCD, lower accessibility of hospital and specialised care. Rolee of primary health care nurses still is
limited and is one of the key priorities for the development of quality of primary health care services Lithuania.
Lessons learned from the introduced changes in PHC organisation, including introduction of private independent
contractors,, and main trends for further development will be presented.

Primary Health Care in the Republic of Moldova (trends, issues and solutions)
The National Health Policy, adopted by the Government of Moldova in 2007 defines the Primary Health Care
(PHC) as a basic structure of the health system. Since 2013 in PHC,
PHC the indicators of performance have changed
and financing increased up to 15% of the budget. As a result of the decentralization process, the number of
independent providers has increased,, not only as public but also as private institutions.
institutions. The Ministry of Health
(MoH) has approved more than 200 clinical protocols, including standards
standard for family doctors. They contribute to
the quality of health care and are used in medical audits.

Natural experiment in the PHC context
Taking into consideration D. C. Mutz’s (2011) views that carrying out a nationwide survey the best thing to do is
to select the natural experiment strategy, the argumentation of G. D. Friedman (1980), M. R. Rosenzweig and
K. I. Wolpin (2000), J. DiNardo (2008), and Th. Dunning (2012) that natural experiment is one of the most
effective tools for investigating complex social phenomena in the fields of medical and health sciences, (3) the
statement of E. A. De Rooij, D. P. Green and A. S. Gerber (2009), S. D. Hyde (2010), A. S. Gerber, et al. (2011)
that in recent years natural experiments are gaining strong popularity, especially in the research of monitoring
relationships and behaviour, as well as taking into consideration (4) the
he fact that natural experiment gives
opportunity to determine the composition of the causal factors of the phenomenon, it was decided to bring the
presentation how natural experiment could be used in the PHC context.
