ESAC-Net Dataset & IQVIA^TM Dataset
The data in this interactive graph are from the ESAC-Net [1] for Europe and the data for Switzerland were calculated using IQVIA ^TM data. For Switzerland, the data were collected on behalf of the Swiss Federal Office of Public Health via the IQVIA^TM database, which provides pharmaceutical sales data (Sell-In). This comprehensive dataset includes antibacterial sales by the pharmaceutical industry to pharmacies and self-dispensing physicians (channels: APO/SD) and to hospitals (channel: SPI). ESAC-Net is a Europe-wide network of national surveillance systems that provides European reference data on antimicrobial consumption. ESAC-Net collects and analyses data on antimicrobial consumption in EU and EEA countries, both in the general population and in the hospital sector.


The bar chart shows the antibiotic consumption (ATC group J01) by country (expressed as DDD per 1'000 inhabitants per day) for the selected year. The data for Switzerland are additionally split per linguistic region. The value for "EU/EEA" is the mean value for all countries participating in ESAC-Net. You can choose for which setting (outpatient/ inpatient) the data should be displayed.
