In recognition of the importance of infection prevention and the role consumers can play to stay safe when they visit a healthcare facility, IFH has partnered with APIC to promote International Infection Prevention Week (IIPW), October 19-25.

To celebrate IIPW and this year’s theme of antibiotic resistance, APIC has expanded the resources and activities for both patients and healthcare professionals found on the “Infection Prevention and You” website. The campaign features a new “ABC’s of Antibiotics” infographic illustrating antibiotic resistance and the top 5 questions consumers should ask their healthcare providers about antibiotics.
