Abstract	Antibiotics are lifesaving, the overuse of antibiotics has contributed to the emergence of antibiotic resistance, a serious global health concern. The WHO updated its Essential Medicines List in 2019, organizing antibiotics into three categories: Access, Watch, and Reserve (AWaRe). The goal of the AWaRe classification is to ensure at least 60% of global antibiotic use falls under the Access group, promoting proper usage and curbing resistance. WHO Core Drug Use Indicators are used to identify issues in drug utilization, evaluate the performance of healthcare institutions, and guide the implementation of antibiotic stewardship programs.
Keywords	AWaRe Classification, WHO Prescribing Indicators, Antibiotics, Antimicrobial stewardship, Antibiotic prescribing pattern.
