Course overview

“Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) are one of the frequently encountered patient safety incidents in care delivery and poses a major public health challenge impacting on morbidity, mortality and quality of life. The prevalence of HAIs in mixed patient populations of low to middle-income countries (like South Africa) is approximately twice that of high-income countries. These infections also present a significant economic burden at the societal and health facility level. Effective infection prevention and control programmes have been proven to be one of the cornerstones for combating HAIs and anti microbial resistance” - Dr. T Pillay (acting Director-General: Health, March 2022).

This short learning programme has been developed by industry experts to provide healthcare workers with a holistic understanding of how to develop and implement standard infection prevention control measures, to prevent the outbreak and spread of infections in South African healthcare facilities.
