IPC Guidelines

IPC (Infection Prevention and Control) guidelines are a set of best practices designed to prevent the spread of infections in healthcare and community settings. They include procedures like proper hand hygiene, sterilizing medical equipment, using protective gear, safe disposal of waste, and maintaining clean environments. These guidelines help protect patients, healthcare workers, and the public from contagious diseases. Following IPC guidelines ensures that infection risks are minimized, improving overall health safety and reducing outbreaks. They are based on scientific evidence and are regularly updated to address new health challenges.
