Infection prevention and control is a critical responsibility across healthcare and workplace environments in Saudi Arabia, especially as organisations work to protect patients, employees, visitors, and the wider community from preventable infection risks. In healthcare settings, infections associated with care delivery can affect patient outcomes, operational continuity, institutional reputation, and regulatory compliance. As a result, professionals are expected to understand how infections spread, how control measures are applied, and how policies align with national health and workplace requirements.

 

This course is designed to provide a structured understanding of infection prevention and control within the Saudi context. It covers the foundations of infection control, healthcare-associated infections, chains of transmission, national policies, legal and ethical obligations, standard precautions, transmission-based precautions, environmental hygiene, medical equipment safety, surveillance, reporting, and outbreak control. The course also examines role-based responsibilities, behavioural compliance, regional risks, emerging threats, and professional growth in infection control.

 

By the end of the course, learners will be better equipped to support safer care environments, reduce infection risks, strengthen compliance awareness, and contribute confidently to infection prevention practices across healthcare and organisational settings in Saudi Arabia.
