دانلود کتاب گزارش جهانی پیشگیری و کنترل عفونت

Over the last decade, major outbreaks such as those due to the Ebola and Marburg virus diseases, the COVID-19 pandemic and, more recently, monkeypox viral disease (mpox), have demonstrated how epidemicprone pathogens can spread rapidly through health care settings. These events have exposed the gaps in infection prevention and control (IPC) programmes that exist, irrespective of the resources available or the national income level. Furthermore, every day across all health care systems worldwide, patients and health workers are affected by infections acquired during health care delivery, including those caused by antimicrobial-resistant microorganisms. IPC is a clinical and public health specialty, and a set of measures based on a practical, evidence-based approach. The aim of IPC is to prevent patients, health workers and visitors to health care facilities from being harmed by avoidable infections acquired during the provision of health care services. This Executive summary provides a synthesis of the 2024 World Health Organization (WHO) Global report on infection prevention and control. Notably, it highlights the burden of health care-associated infections (HAIs) and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and the related harm to both patients and health workers in care settings. It presents also an updated global situation analysis of the implementation of IPC programmes at the national and health care facility levels, including a focus on the WHO regions. Finally, it highlights recent landmark political and implementation documents, which indicate directions, actions, indicators and targets for countries and the international IPC community to help them to progress in the implementation and improvement of IPC. The report and its Executive summary are primarily aimed at those in charge of making decisions and formulating policies in the field of IPC at national, subnational and facility levels. This includes policy-makers, senior managers, administrators who are managing health budgets, and IPC focal points at national (ministry of health, public health institutes, etc.), subnational and health care facility levels. The report is the result of a cross-cutting and multidisciplinary effort involving staff at WHO headquarters and in regional offices, as well as key partners in the field of IPC. It includes information and data from many sources, including the scientific literature, WHO global databases, WHO surveys using standardized tools, as well as WHO publications and reports published by other institutions. It also includes a compilation of data and information providing overviews of IPC at the global and regional levels and by country income level, with examples of IPC implementation at both country and facility level.
