This report updates analyses of data on antimicrobial medicines consumption collected for the period from 2011 to 2017 from non-European Union countries and areas in the WHO European Region. The update includes analyses of trends over time for key metrics of antibiotic consumption, considers new metrics to inform the responsible use of antibiotics and examines the impact of changes to defined daily doses that came into force on 1 January 2019. The WHO Regional Office for Europe and its partners remain committed to supporting countries and areas in these endeavours through the activities of the WHO Europe Antimicrobial Medicines Consumption Network.
