83 extractive question-and-answer pairs built from amr27, published by ncdc.mohfw.gov.in. The source is a 51-page publication. Source-evidenced topics include antimicrobial consumption, antimicrobial resistance (amr), amc tool 2019 v.1.9.0, bed occupancy rate, ddd/100 bed days, combination drugs, metronidazole, co-trimoxazole. Every answer is a verbatim span of text the source prints, and each row carries the passage it sits in, its offset in that passage, the source quote, the page and the location in the document, so any row can be checked against the original. Question types in the export: 49 factual, 19 definition, 9 relationship, 4 summary, 2 list. 34 of the 83 pairs (41.0%) ask explanatory questions; the remaining 49 are factual or table-based questions. 98.80% of rows pass the corpus quality gate.

| What activities are involved in antibiotic consumption surveillance? | systematic data collection, analysis, and interpretation at various levels, including local, national, and international. | Introduction Containment of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a global and national priority. Overuse and misuse of antimicrobials contribute to the increase and spread of AMR. strategic priority 4 of the Global Action Plan as well as the National Action Plan on AMR envisages monitoring of antimicrobial use in healthcare facilities for optimizing the use of antimicrobials. National Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) is the nodal agency for the National Programme on AMR Containment. The human health sector has well-established functional AMC surveillance network at the national level, the National Antimicrobial Consumption Network (NAC-NET), coordinated by NCDC, with government medical colleges as surveillance sites.

| How is the strength of syrups expressed? | as a concentration (e.g. g/ml) | In the case of syrups, the strength of a product is expressed as a concentration (e.g. g/ml). The number of doses (to be filled in the “pack size” section of the AMC Tool) has to be calculated first in these cases before we can calculate the DDD.
