Infection Prevention and Control Programme Priorities for Sustainable Health and Environmental Systems

Abstract

Infection prevention and control (IPC) programmes reduce infection risk for patients, health workers, and the community. They are fundamental to achieving resilient, responsive, and sustainable health systems that align with the Sustainable Development Goals. Paradoxically, IPC programmes contribute to environmental harm, and this must be addressed alongside longstanding programme priorities.
