The Uganda National Infection Prevention and Control Guidelines, 2nd Edition, aims to establish a standardized approach to IPC across all levels of healthcare service delivery in Uganda. It details the IPC structure and function, basic concepts like the hierarchy of controls and transmission chains, and specific protocols for standard precautions (including hand hygiene, PPE, aseptic technique, and waste management) and transmission-based precautions (contact, droplet, and airborne). The guidelines also address environmental cleaning, decontamination of medical devices, and safe injection practices, serving as a critical resource for healthcare workers and institutions.
