📔ANNOUNCEMENT!!!
The Nigeria Centre for Disease Control, NCDC has launched The National Manual on Infection Prevention and Control (IPC).
This is in line with our priority to ensure that Nigerians receive safe care and healthcare workers are protected as they provide care.
The new manual is available to the general public on the NCDC website but also targeted at health care workers to reduce the risk of transmission of infectious diseases while administering health care.
It contains guidelines on how to establish IPC programmes, implement standard and transmission-based precautions, how to apply administrative controls in IPC and other essential aspects of infection control in healthcare.
We remain grateful to our technical and supporting partners too numerous to mention, for their strong support and commitment to improving IPC practice in Nigeria.
🔗The manual can be accessed via -https://ncdc.gov.ng/themes/common/docs/protocols/292_1634550556.pdf
