NCDPHA completes first round of IPC and WASH training across urban facilities

The National Capital District Provincial Health Authority (NCDPHA), in collaboration with WaterAid PNG, has successfully concluded its inaugural training session on Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) and Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH). The training program was implemented across all urban health facilities within the district and also included Gerehu General Hospital. This initiative marks a significant step for the NCDPHA in enhancing the standards of healthcare delivery and public health within the region. The focus on IPC aims to minimize the spread of infections within healthcare settings, ensuring patient and staff safety. Simultaneously, the WASH component addresses critical needs for clean water, adequate sanitation, and proper hygiene practices, which are fundamental to preventing disease transmission and promoting overall community well-being. Further details on the training's impact and future sessions are expected as the NCDPHA continues its commitment to improving health services.
