Message from Award Programme Chair and APSIC President

The APSIC Environment Hygiene Excellence Award celebrates healthcare institutions that demonstrate exceptional leadership and measurable success in maintaining safe environmental hygiene - a critical step toward safeguarding patient lives.

One of the core components in the infection prevention and control programme is appropriate water and sanitation services, environment, and materials and equipment for IPC. These facilitate practices related to the prevention and control of healthcare associated infections. It is the responsibility of healthcare institutions to ensure an adequate hygiene environment - it's a commitment to patient safety at the highest level.

In pursuit of these objectives, we would like to invite you to participate in the APSIC Environment Hygiene Excellence Award
