Clean Care is Safer Care
The First Global Patient Safety Challenge

Our aim is to ensure that infection control is acknowledged universally as a solid and essential basis for the attainment of patient safety, contributing to a significant, measurable reduction in the burden of disease attributable to health care-associated infections.
