Infection and Prevention Control (IPC) is one of the main pillars of medical care in all contexts as well as the fight against antibiotic resistance (ABR). The IPC role is to ensure and improve the patients, relatives and medical staff safety and to improve the quality of cares to avoid prolonged hospitalization due to nosocomial infections, but also to avoid the proliferation of bacteria resistant to antibiotics in the countries where MSF works.
In this purpose, it is essential to improve the perception and the importance of hygiene as well as local practice.
Different strategies are implemented:
o Technical support
o Reinforcement of knowledge and practice
o Implementation of adapted protocols
o Creation of practical assessment and action plan support
Activities

Ideally, a local IPC focal point should be trained on all activities to ensure long-term follow-up and implementation
In consultation with the managers of the various services, using existing tools (guidelines, checklists, audit forms, training); ensure the implementation of standard and complementary precautions to fight cross-transmission in all wards of the project’s health structure
Ensure IPC supervision, technical support and training of all staff including sterilization, laundry and kitchen.
Organize and lead an efficient Hygiene Committee
