Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) - Online Course

One of the duties of health care personnel is the Infection Prevention and Control (IPC). There is an important opportunity to reduce avoidable morbidity and mortality through improvements to IPC, including during the COVID-19 pandemic.

What is needed in hospitals and community health centres? Obviously, good hygienic practice; adequate antiseptic products; education and follow-up will help keep both staff and patients safe. In addition, ensuring that medical staff stay healthy; report infectious diseases; wear appropriate clothing; keep current with proper immunisation policies; use respiratory hygiene; dispose of waste and sterilisation of multi-use equipment, are also necessary in the prevention of infection. The course designed for all health workers. The goal is to strengthen health workers' IPC knowledge and advance the IPC focal points’ capacity to implement facility-led IPC efforts.
