Modern Infection Prevention & Control Manual – Evidence-Based Strategies for Safe Hospitals is a practical, evidence-based guide designed for modern healthcare systems. With the growing burden of healthcare-associated infections (HAIs), antimicrobial resistance (AMR), and emerging infectious diseases, effective Infection Prevention & Control (IPC) has become essential for patient safety and hospital quality.
This book provides a comprehensive yet easy-to-implement approach covering HAI surveillance, sterilization and disinfection, biomedical waste management, antimicrobial stewardship, outbreak preparedness, occupational safety, ICU infection prevention bundles, and NABH-aligned audit practices. Designed especially for Indian healthcare settings, the manual integrates national guidelines with global best practices.
Rich in flowcharts, checklists, SOPs, tables, and clinical scenarios, this book serves as a valuable resource for clinicians, microbiologists, nurses, infection control teams, hospital administrators, postgraduate students, and accreditation professionals.
