Infection Pevention and control

About this activity

Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) is essential in healthcare to minimize the risk of healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) and safeguard both patients and staff. This session will cover the fundamental principles of IPC, including standard precautions, hand hygiene, proper use of personal protective equipment (PPE), sterilization techniques, and environmental cleaning. Special attention will be given to the prevention of multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs) and adherence to protocols in high-risk areas such as operating rooms and intensive care units. Effective IPC practices are crucial for maintaining a safe healthcare environment and improving patient outcomes.
