Healthcare leaders and infection control experts will tackle key patient safety challenges
The International Conference on Prevention and Control of Infection will bring healthcare professionals together to examine the latest strategies for safer, more effective infection control.
A major focus will be the growing challenge of antimicrobial resistance in the UAE, alongside antimicrobial stewardship and prevention of multidrug-resistant organisms.
The programme will also explore practical approaches to healthcare-associated infections, including CLABSI, CAUTI, VAP, VAE and surgical site infections.
Sessions will cover infection surveillance, environmental controls, waste management and the safe reprocessing of flexible endoscopes.
Another key area will be infection prevention during healthcare construction and renovation, with a focus on identifying and reducing associated risks.
Experts will also discuss emergency preparedness, infectious disease disaster management and the latest regulatory requirements.
Cleaning, disinfection and sterilisation will feature alongside topics including food safety, animal infection control and JAWDA indicators.
The programme combines expert lectures with case discussions, interactive sessions, poster presentations and hands-on workshops.
Designed for physicians, nurses, infection preventionists, microbiologists, public health professionals, hospital leaders and other healthcare teams, the conference offers a practical look at the future of infection prevention and control.
