Infection prevention and control and water, sanitation and hygiene in health facilities during Ebola or Marburg disease outbreaks

The Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) and water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) rapid assessment tool (RAT), is meant to assess health facilities with at least one inpatient bed identified as high risk to receive or have already received patients with suspected or confirmed Ebola disease (EBOD) or Marburg disease (MARD). The user guide is intended to provide instructions to those individuals who are conducting IPC  assessments of a facility and describes the parameters for each criterion, data collection exercise and follow-up action based on the assessment findings and recommendations.
