Kenya National Infection Prevention and Control Policy for Health Care Services May-2021

IPC is a scientific approach and practical solution designed to prevent harm caused by infection to patients, health workers, and the community. It is grounded in infectious disease, epidemiology, social science, and health system strengthening. IPC occupies a unique position in the field of patient safety and quality universal health coverage (UHC) because it is relevant to health workers and patients at every health care encounter.
