Bi-regional training course for staff managing healthcare-assocaited infection (HAI) with minimal resources

Results 69 health care professionals from 16 countries were trained. In their home countries, 37 (53.6%) worked in hospitals; 31 (44.5%) worked in Ministry of Health agencies, and 6 (8.7%) were on teaching faculties of universities. The highest score on the written test was 46 out of 50 and the lowest score was 27 out of 50. All the participants could answer two questions correctly about urinary catheter. Participants strongly agreed that the course was relevant; they were satisfied with the training method. Conclusion We will further consolidate the training material into a toolkit and establish a network with our course participants in order to support and facilitate their work in their home countries. Infection Control Elluminate is held every two weeks to share and review their work.
