Overview
Globally, major gaps in introductory water, sanitation, hygiene, waste operation, and cleaning services live in health care installations( HCFs). A quarter of all HCFs around the world have no introductory water services, which means 712 million people have no access to water when they use health care installations. WASH services are especially deficient in least-developed countries( LDCs) where half of HCFs warrant introductory water services and 60 have no sanitation services. WASH services remain at the Center of effective Infection forestallment and control programs, which are essential for the reduction of healthcare-associated infections.

USAID’s Momentum Country and
Global Leadership( MCGL) Project is conducting a study to estimate the costs
and cost-savings of enforcing a
comprehensive infection forestallment
and control program in public health care installations in Nigeria. The
design will model the cost savings to public sector motherly and neonatal health services from
delivery of a comprehensive infection
forestallment and control( IPC) program with the following objects
- Estimate the cost of maintaining introductory infection forestallment norms in motherly and invigorated wards with public secondary health care installations.
- Estimate the cost of treating motherly and neonatal infections.
- Estimate the change in healthcare- acquired motherly and invigorated sepsis cases as a result of maintaining introductory infection forestallment norms.
- Estimate the impact of maintaining introductory infection forestallment norms on avoided health system costs associated with motherly and invigorated healthcare-acquired infections.
Key questions that MCGL aims to address through this analysis are
- How important is it to apply an IPC program in secondary health installations in Nigeria?
- How important does it be to treat neonatal and motherly healthcare-acquired infections( HAIs) in secondary health installations in Nigeria?
The design will apply both quantitative and qualitative styles to collect data and answer our objectives. Quantitative styles will include document review of epidemiological data, digital and homemade fiscal information, and structured data collection tools that will capture 1) IPC program perpetration costs from design mates and the government of Nigeria; and 2) input costs for treating neonatal and motherly infections. We'll also use qualitative styles for determining the inputs demanded for estimating the cost of treating infections, which will calculate on engagement and dialogue with original health experts to arrive at an agreement on the inputs( labor, goods, medicines,etc.) needed for treatment of low, moderate or severe neonatal and motherly infections.
