Scope of IIPW

International Infection Prevention Week (IIPW) is the year’s signature event bringing greater attention to the importance of infection prevention, honoring the professionals who protect patients as well as educating healthcare workers, patients, and the community. As infection prevention is everyone’s business, this event allows APIC an opportunity to strengthen our relationships with other associations actively engaged in infection prevention activities at home and abroad.
