Dr. Oniyire also highlighted other preventive measures, including proper waste management and segregation, water and food hygiene, and maintaining a clean and healthy environment. “IPC is about preventing and controlling the spread of infections by putting systems and processes in place to prevent the outbreak of diseases,” she explained.
