APIC has joined fellow members of the Global Infection Prevention and Control Network (GIPCN) in an urgent appeal to the World Health Organization (WHO) to restore and strengthen its leadership role in programmatic infection prevention and control (IPC). IPC is not just a technical discipline—it’s the foundation of global health security, patient safety, and health system resilience. WHO’s own data shows every $1 invested in IPC yields up to $35 in health and economic return. As global threats from infectious diseases and antimicrobial resistance continue to rise, now is not the time to reduce IPC capacity or visibility. Together, we are calling on WHO to: ▶️ Reinstate dedicated IPC resources and leadership within its global structure. ▶️ Establish a clear roadmap for implementing the Global IPC Action Plan and Monitoring Framework (2024–2030). ▶️ Ensure IPC remains central to outbreak preparedness, response, and health system strengthening worldwide. APIC remains committed to advancing the science and practice of infection prevention everywhere—because protecting patients, healthcare workers, and communities depends on it. #InfectionPrevention #GlobalHealth #AMR #PatientSafety #APIC #GIPCN #WHO (fb)
