      According to the Canadian Institute for Health Information, health spending in Canada was projected to reach $211 billion in 2013 (versus $207 billion in 2012), corresponding to $5,988 per per-son (1). Overall, this represents 11.2% of Canada’s gross domestic product. Approximately 60% of total health spending is directed to hospitals (30%), drugs (16%) and physicians (15%). Although it is difficult to estimate, the proportion of this spending attributed to the management of nosocomial infections, overuse and/or misuse of antimicrobials, and infections due to multidrug-resistant bacteria is significant. Despite the availability of efficient strategies targeting each of these aspects, large-scale progress has not been demonstrated.
