Hong Kong is rolling out an electronic antimicrobial transaction record platform to support planned legislative changes that would require licensed pharmaceutical traders, including pharmacies, to record antimicrobial prescriptions and dispensing digitally.
The government said it is developing the platform in phases under the Hong Kong Strategy and Action Plan on Antimicrobial Resistance to electronically record antimicrobial acquisition and supply across the chain, from wholesale dealing to supply to end users.
Phase 1 was launched in June 2025 for voluntary participation by licensed drug dealers of antimicrobials, including manufacturers, wholesale dealers, and retailers, with 54% of relevant licensed drug dealers registered on the platform as of May this year.
