Ethiopian Hospitals Use Infection Prevention and Control Practices to Combat AR |
|---|
Two hospitals in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, are demonstrating that even with limited resources, commitment to infection prevention and control (IPC) practices makes combating antimicrobial resistance (AR) possible.
As part of CDC’s Global Action in Healthcare Network, the Addis Ababa hospitals are working in partnership with CDC, the Ethiopian Public Health Institute, and The Ohio State University to combat AR. An important part of their strategy includes providing trainings to healthcare workers on IPC practices such as proper hand hygiene and environmental cleaning protocols. Local IPC officers train staff and also provide routine monitoring and feedback on IPC practices.
These efforts are paying off. Tracked performance rates over time show improvement in IPC practices. For example, at one facility’s neonatal intensive care unit, within seven months, hand hygiene performance increased 30% and environmental cleaning performance increased 200%. This unit has also seen reduced infection rates in their newborn patients.
