Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) Training

Home Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) Training
Through our flagship Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) Training program, DRASA has provided more than 1,700 health workers with the lifesaving training they need to become champions of identifying and controlling the spread of infectious diseases.

COVID-19 has shown us that when infectious diseases are not properly managed or contained, the effects are disastrous not just locally, but globally. Outbreaks and pandemics have far-reaching consequences that transcend not only health but can also cripple economies and businesses, and bring everyday social interactions to a grinding halt.
Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) is a multi-disciplinary approach to prevent and control the spread of diseases, but it is not practiced widely or implemented consistently in many countries in the world – including Nigeria.

DRASA continues to fill this gap in Nigeria’s health sector by training and equipping both medical and non-medical personnel of all cadres on IPC – doctors, nurses, lab scientists, hygienists, cleaners and ambulance drivers, to name a few.
Our hands-on IPC trainings and simulation exercises cover various topics including:
  • Microbiology
  • Triage: Screening, Identification, Notification
  • Infectious Disease Epidemiology
  • Standard and Transmission-Based Precautions
  • Hand Hygiene
  • Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
  • Linen and Waste Management
  • Cleaning, Disinfection, Sterilization
  • Integrated Disease Surveillance and Response (IDSR)
  • Emergency Management and Preparedness Planning
IPC Training
While we continue training and building capacity we know we need to do more so we plan to scale up our capacity building across the country by establishing Nigeria’s first-ever state-of-the-art IPC Simulation Training Center. Through the Simulation Training Center, we can train up to 10,000 health workers per year, building a strong network of trained experts ready to protect Nigeria’s public health, but we need donations and support.

Because of DRASA’s training we were able to get accredited. Now we can confidently say our staff are well equipped to help contain infectious diseases.

The systematic training of health workers, airport and law enforcement officials, and other care providers was the foundation from which we launched our attack on the virus. Without IPC, there is no defeating disease.

About Us

DRASA Health Trust is a public health organization working with government, local and international partners, community leaders, students, and health workers to promote adequate sanitation and hygiene, reduce and prevent the spread of infectious diseases, and strengthen Nigeria’s health security and emergency preparedness.

DRASA was established in memory of the late Dr. Ameyo Stella Adadevoh who identified and contained Nigeria's first Ebola patient, preventing a major outbreak, but lost her life in the process.
