What you'll learn

Effective infection prevention and control (IPC) is the cornerstone for delivering safe, effective, high-quality health care. Globally, every year more than 1 million in-patients lose their lives due to hospital-acquired infections. These are also called nosocomial infections. Not only patients but also health care workers are most commonly affected due to improper infection control measures in healthcare setups. read more »»

In any healthcare facility, infection control should be the first and foremost procedure to be done before the start of any outpatient checkups or treatments. This is a continuous protocol to be done before and after the patients’ inflow to avoid cross contaminations and massive outbreaks. Infection control demands a basic understanding of the epidemiology of diseases, risk factors associated with infections, practices, procedures, and treatments that may aggravate or increase hospital-acquired infections.

This course gives an overview of healthcare-associated infections, infection prevention and control measures, implementation of infection control in the organization, management of occupational exposure to blood and body fluids, occupational safety, biomedical waste management, infection control plan, standard precautions with focus on hand hygiene, and transmission-based precautions.
