21 APRIL 2021 PROGRAMME
INFECTION PREVENTION AND CONTROL
In this session we analyse how Covid-19 has been a wakeup call and forced us to be aware of and prepared for the spread of infection through global travel and trade. It has furthermore highlighted the need to improve our systems and procedures for controlling the spread of infection both, within and outside our healthcare facilities.
