Infection, Prevention and Control: Moving beyond a reactive to a proactive approachInfection, prévention et contrôle et réponse aux épidémies : Passer d'une approche réactive à une approche proactive29/06/2021 In recent years significant resources have been put into Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) outbreak response capacity development at local, national, regional and global levels. However, thus far, there has been patchy translation or integration of the experience, skills and practice improvements from this into broader system strengthening. We recognise that areas with strong IPC structures and processes are better placed to prevent and limit the consequences of outbreaks using locally available resources, minimising the need for intensive and potentially disruptive responses. In this session we encourage reflection and shared learning, as well as creative discourse. It is an opportunity for all those working in Infection Prevention and Control in low- and middle-income countries to come together and discuss ways to synergise investment in short term outbreak response towards longer term quality improvement.Hear perspectives from those who have worked in IPC system strengthening, outbreak response and across a range of theatres of engagement.
