Infection, Prevention and Control
Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) involves strategies and practices designed to prevent the spread of infections within healthcare settings and the community. This field is critical in protecting patients, healthcare workers, and visitors from healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) and controlling outbreaks. Infection Prevention includes measures to reduce the risk of infection before it occurs. This involves vaccination, proper hand hygiene, use of personal protective equipment (PPE), and safe food handling practices.
