What is Infection Control?

People who work or receive care in healthcare facilities are subject to higher risk resulting from infection causing agents such as bacteria, fungi and viruses. The development of a multi-disciplinary program is crucial in the prevention of infection and also serves as an important emergency preparedness tool during outbreaks.
