Abstract

Despite relatively high level of knowledge and attitude, a considerable proportion of health professions reported unsafe IPC practices. Strengthening IPC training, ensuring guideline availability, and improving infrastructure such as handwashing facilities are crucial to enhance compliance with IPC measures in tertiary care hospitals thereby mitigating HCAIs and AMR.
