The partnership project between the Universitätsklinikum Frankfurt (UKF) and the Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH) aims to improve hospital hygiene and reduce the incidence of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Problem: Kenya is a rapidly growing country and is facing major challenges from the double burden of disease – a high level of pressure on health services as a result of communicable diseases like tuberculosis, in combination with an increasing incidence of non-communicable diseases (NCDs), such as diabetes. Poor hygiene systems and antimicrobial resistance are partly responsible for the frequent occurrence of communicable diseases. Main activities: Within the framework of the partnership, students from the university hospitals involved will spend internships lasting 1 to 3 months at the partner institute. This will be organised three or four times, in an effort to initiate hand hygiene and AMR measures. Students will be trained as multipliers, in order to conduct hand hygiene and antimicrobial stewardship (AMS) measures in working groups. Short-term results: The internships are to raise the awareness of participating students from UKF and KNH for hand hygiene and AMR. In future they are to act as multipliers in this area. Long-term results: The topic-related exchanges between the involved institutions should lead to a strong partnership.
