Kathmandu, Bagmati Province – The Ministry of Health and Population (MoHP) launched the National Guideline on Infection Prevention Control (IPC) Guideline and shared the IPC implementation manual at a program supported by WHO. Developed by the national IPC technical working committee, these documents will support and promote uniform implementation of IPC practices at healthcare facilities across Nepal. Eight district hospitals also presented their current IPC status using WHO’s IPC Facility Assessment Framework at the program. With the support of WHO, MoHP will now work to advocate to stakeholders for the adoption of this guideline.
