  • National Infection Prevention Control Guidelines for Acute Healthcare Facilities, 2017 Page | 2
    THE NATIONAL INFECTION PREVENTION AND CONTROL GUIDELINES FOR ACUTE HEALTHCARE FACILITIES 2017 Foreword ___________________________________________________________________ The National Infection Prevention and Control Committee (NIPC) was appointed by the Singapore Ministry of Health in 2014 and charged with a number of tasks including reform and consolidation of national guidelines. It is with great pleasure therefore that I present the 2017 National Infection Prevention and Control Guidelines for the acute care setting. This version is built on many previous publications from sources including Singapore’s Ministry of Health (MOH), the Infection Control Association of Singapore (ICAS), and international sources including Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the World Health Organization (WHO) and peer-reviewed literature. Specifically in this version, we have excluded sections dedicated to the non-acute sectors, and we will compile this in a separate document. We have also brought in and modified pre-existing standalone documents related to multi-drug resistant organisms and environmental cleaning. These guidelines can be used as a reference for healthcare professionals, management and operations staff to ensure protocols and processes for infection prevention and control are appropriately adapted and in place in all of Singapore’s acute healthcare settings. The NIPC committee and secretariat welcome feedback, particularly in areas for improvement which will as a matter of course be considered for future editions. Finally, I would like to give particular acknowledgement to the writing committee (see acknowledgement page) and all infection prevention and control specialists who provided expert input to the drafting of these guidelines.
