| A cross-sectional retrospective study was carried out according to World Health Organization guidelines over 6 months and included 197 general practitioners (GPs) and 19,700 prescriptions. |
| This study revealed that the overall Index of Rational Drug Prescribing (IRDP) indicator for GPs was below the optimal prescribing practice level. |
| We found disparities in the IRDP between GPs at different health facilities. GPs at National Insurance Fund facilities scored lower than those at State Ministry of Health facilities or other health facilities such as those owned by private interests, universities, and non-governmental organizations. |
