Infection Prevention and Control (IPC)

Infection Prevention and Control (IPC)

Infection prevention and control (IPC) is a practical, evidence-based approach preventing health workers and patients from being harmed by avoidable infections.

Effective IPC requires constant action at all levels of the health system, including health workers, policymakers, facility managers, and those who access health services. IPC is unique in the field of patient safety and quality of care, as it is universally relevant to every health worker and patient, at every health care interaction. Infection prevention and control affects all aspects of health care, including hand hygiene, surgical site infections, injection safety, antimicrobial resistance, and how hospitals operate during and outside of emergencies.

Defective IPC causes harm and can kill. Without effective IPC it is impossible to achieve quality health care delivery. Healthcare delivery and medical hygiene standards may be negatively affected by secondary infections.
