Dear IPC colleagues

We are happy to announce the launch of the Western Pacific Infection Prevention and Control Network and that the first Webinar will be held on Wednesday 15th April 0800hrs (Manila time) with invitation to you all.

The primary aim of the WPRO IPC Network is to facilitate networking of Infection Prevention and Control focal points and experts in Member States, WHO Country Offices and WHO Regional Office for the Western Pacific.

We aim to hold a Webinar each week (schedule/time might change), with a new key topic and guest speaker followed by a question and answer session facilitated by the WPRO IPC Team.

Each session will be recorded and made available to those unable to attend.
