This is a vital webinar that tackles one of the most critical areas in health emergencies: infection prevention and control (IPC) in health facilities and communities. It introduces and demonstrates practical tools and implementation approaches that countries can use to strengthen IPC before, during, and after outbreaks.
Improved IPC saves lives by reducing disease transmission, keeping essential services functioning, and preventing health systems from becoming hotspots of infection. Strong IPC implementation enhances global #healthsecurity, equipping countries to respond faster and more effectively to future outbreaks of any #pathogen.
