Metoreia Health Centre has successfully conducted Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) training for its support staff, reaffirming its commitment to patient safety and high-quality healthcare delivery.

The training equipped staff with practical skills to prevent the spread of infections within the facility. Key topics included proper hand hygiene, correct use of personal protective equipment (PPE), waste management, cleaning and disinfection procedures, and safe patient-care practices.

Metoreia Health Centre Manager, Regina Wuri, highlighted the critical role of IPC in protecting both patients and healthcare workers.

“Infection prevention is essential to ensure that everyone—staff and patients alike—remains safe while receiving or providing care,” she said.

The program was facilitated by the National Capital District Provincial Health Authority (NCDPHA) in collaboration with public health partners and is part of ongoing efforts to build capacity at frontline health facilities, reducing the risk of healthcare-associated infections.

Key outcomes of the training include improved hand hygiene, correct PPE usage, safer waste disposal and environmental management, and stronger teamwork in maintaining infection-free spaces.

Dr. Robin Oge, Chief Executive Officer for NCDPHA, commended the Metoreia management and IPC team for their efforts.

“Community members must continue to practice good hygiene and support health workers in keeping the facility safe,” he said.
