Description:
The Malawi Ministry of Health and Population (MOHP) sought the assistance of JHPIEGO to implement a performance and quality improvement (PQI) initiative in infection prevention (IP), as one intervention in response to concerns of healthcare workers and potential healthcare workers regarding the existing risks of exposure to infection with major communicable diseases, especially HIV/AIDS, at the country’s hospitals and other health facilities. The initiative aimed to improve infection prevention practices in seven participating (pilot) facilities, in order to decrease the risk of infection transmission to clients, providers, and the community.
