Assessment reveals unsatisfactory infection control in post-war Tigray hospitals, highlighting critical gaps.
The levels of implementation of the WHO CC in post-war health facilities in Tigray were found to be unsatisfactory, with limitations evident across all zones and types of facilities. This situation increases the risk of healthcare-associated infections for healthcare personnel, patients, and visitors. A significant positive correlation was observed between IPCAF and HHSAF scores. Addressing the identified gaps through enhancements of IPC core components and capacity building is essential for preventing healthcare-associated infections. Longitudinal studies to monitor IPC implementations are recommended for ongoing assessment and improvement.
