Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) in the home and community care involves a set of practices designed to prevent the spread of infections outside of health care facility settings. Many people receive care in their homes or other community settings,  IPC measures in this environment are essential for reducing healthcare-associated infections and ensuring safe, quality care in the community. 

Note: Resources shared across all health care settings are located in the collaborative health care resource pages in accordance with country or region.
