MAURICE - Manual on Universal and Outbreak Infection Prevention Control for the ECOWAS Region

University and Hospital Partnerships in AfricaPatient safety

The main goal of the partnership is the improvement of patient safety during outbreaks of epidemic-prone diseases in Nigeria. The Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) and the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) form a multi-stakeholder working group with the aim of developing a manual on universal and outbreak infection prevention and control. The basis for the manual is a thorough review of strategies, policies, scientific literature and the best practices of other public health institutions. Health care workers from two pilot states, Lagos and Na-sarawa, have been trained as supervisors for using the manual in practice.
