2021Year
44Pages


The Toolkit collates existing standards, measurement and implementation approaches and resources for infection prevention and control (IPC) in primary care. This toolkit contains tools and resources from WHO and other organizations, with a focus on those most relevant to primary care. The tools and resources have been compiled to support facility-level implementation in line with the recommended WHO IPC Hub and Task Force multimodal approach. The types of tools and resources included fall into five categories: guidance materials, implementation manuals and resources, communications and advocacy tools, measurement tools, and training and education resources. A synthesis of some key information on each tool/resource is provided to support the reader in decision making on the usefulness of each one for the purpose required.
