Professional Diploma in Infection Control

Three Months of Access

In Collaboration with the International College of London

Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) is a major challenge for health care systems around the world. There is an important opportunity to reduce avoidable morbidity and mortality through improvements to IPC, including during the COVID-19 pandemic. This training program designed for all health workers. The goal is to strengthen health workers’ IPC knowledge and advance the IPC focal points’ capacity to implement facility-led IPC efforts, as well as IPC strategies required to prevent and mitigate the spread of infections in health facilities.

The program is delivered through a combination of integrative discussion and presentations, attendance at short workshops and action learning. The workshops develop specific management skills, and allow inputs from practitioners and healthcare experts. The action learning helps students apply this knowledge and skills in their own work environment.
