IPC (Infection Prevention and Control)

Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) involves measures and practices designed to reduce the spread of infections in healthcare settings and communities. It includes proper hand hygiene, sterilizing equipment, using personal protective gear, safe waste disposal, and maintaining a clean environment. IPC aims to protect patients, healthcare workers, and the public from infectious diseases by preventing their transmission through effective protocols and ongoing education. These practices are essential for reducing illness, improving safety, and controlling outbreaks, ensuring that healthcare environments are safe and hygienic for everyone.
