COLLABORATION

Working together through ongoing partnership is the key to identifying and implementing real solutions for real problems.

CO-CREATION

The principles of infection prevention and control are always the same, it is the context that isn’t. We co-create guidelines, action plans, and resources with our partners.

CAPACITY

It is imperative that local healthcare workers become the experts in infection prevention and control. We aim to become a support rather than a solution so we focus on building local knowledge, skills, and leadership capacity with our colleagues to ensure a sustainable program.

Welcome to CAIPC

The Collaborative for the Advancement of Infection Prevention and Control (CAIPC) provides leadership and strategic direction to drive progressive, high quality, evidence informed infection prevention and control education, practice, research, and consultancy in low- and middle-income settings. We provide our expertise via consultancies and partnerships with government, education providers and not for profit organisations.  The work undertaken by CAIPC is based on the premise that collaboration, co-creation, and capacity building provide the best foundations for improving healthcare service delivery and health outcomes for people living in low- and middle-income settings.

Why are we different?

We recognize that infection prevention and control is everybody’s responsibility and is part of every aspect of healthcare delivery, be it in an acute care hospital or a remote dispensary or clinic.

Infection prevention and control programme evaluation

The purpose of this evaluation is to provide a review of healthcare infection prevention and control (IPC) activities in a given healthcare facility. It does not, however, consider the risk of individual patients or specific cases. It is intended as an instrument to provide assessment of the status of the infection prevention and control programme (IPCP).
