Description:Healthcare personnel in Nigeria save lives every day and put their lives
at risk when caring for patients with
deadly infections, such as Ebola and Lassa fever. Infection prevention and control measures—such as isolating potentially infectious patients, improving handwashing, and using protective equipment—can
keep these healthcare personnel safe. Although some hospitals in Nigeria have specialists responsible for ensuring that these measures are in place, few of these specialists are appropriately trained to serve in this role. To fill this need for training, Nigerian infection prevention and control experts are working with CDC’s International Infection Control Program (IICP) in the Division of Healthcare Quality and Promotion out of the National Center for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases and other international partners.
