Launch event: Development and implementation of national action plans for infection prevention and control - a practical guide [1]

[]

Date: 2025-06-23

“From plan to action: Implementing the WHO Global Action Plan and Monitoring Framework on Infection Prevention and Control at the country level”

The Global action plan and monitoring framework for infection prevention and control (IPC) for 2024–2030 (GAPMF) was approved at the Seventy-seventh World Health Assembly in 2024. The plan provides clear actions, indicators, and targets to support Member States in improving national- and facility-level IPC actions. It was developed through extensive consultations at global and regional levels with Member States, international experts and across the three levels of the WHO secretariat.

At the event, a practical guide will be launched which provides stepwise guidance for development and implementation of national action plans (NAPs) for IPC, that are aligned with the WHO GAPMF. The guide includes inspirational country stories and directs users towards tools and resources to help countries prioritize, cost, implement, monitor and evaluate their national action plan activities. The guide was developed in collaboration with national leads for IPC, international and national technical experts, IPC leads at the 3 levels of WHO and the WHO Global IPC Network.

It is critical that we secure engagement and practical action now to ensure countries can achieve the targets set out within the WHO GAPMF. The target audiences for the webinar are IPC professionals, IPC focal points, planners and policy makers at facility and national level.

Objectives of the webinar:
