The National Antimicrobial Resistance Committee provides an algorithm based decision making tool to assist doctors working in both community and hospital settings to prescribe antibiotics in line with national guidelines and local antimicrobial susceptibilites. All doctors are encouraged to use the Antibiotics Malta app when prescribing antibiotics. Additionally, the app incorporates a number of useful medical calculators.
When registering for the app, doctors without a gov.mt e-mail address must insert the Medical Registration Number for authentication. If a gov.mt e-mail address is used, there is no need to use the CORP password as the two platforms are not linked.
Once registered, users can access the app from any device connected to internet using https://antibioticsmalta.gov.mt/
