Celebrating the Fundamentals of Infection Prevention
International Infection Prevention and Control Week (IIPC), is celebrated on the third week of every October used to convey the significance of the prevention of infections. International Infection Prevention and Control Week's theme is "Celebrating the Fundamentals of Infection Prevention".
What is Infection Prevention Control about?
According to the World Health Organisation, Infection Prevention Control is about preventing people from being harmed by avoidable infections (World Health Organization, 2022). Infection prevention is needed by all levels of healthcare and exists within multiple sectors, including but not limited to policymakers, health workers, and facility managers. With IIPC the world can be a safer place and the chance of receiving Infections can be diminished.
Why is Infection Prevention Control Important?
Infection Prevention Control is vital as it helps reduce the effects of transmissions of infections, making the environment safer (Australian Commission on Safety and Quality in Health Care, 2019). Having the ability to create a safe, healthy environment is key to maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
Taking control of infection prevention is EVERYONE's responsibility. In environments such as homes, schools, clinics, and everywhere, preventing the spread of germs and preventing infections can make a massive difference in improving health outcomes. Infection prevention can be basic, simple, and easy to do. To help with the process of infection prevention, Vital Medical Supplies is here to help!
