APIC Urges All 50 States to Proclaim International Infection Prevention Week,
October 19-25, 2008
Washington, DC, September 10, 2008 – To bring greater attention to the critical need to
protect patients and the public from the risk of infection, the Association for
Professionals in Infection Control and Epidemiology (APIC) urges every state to
recognize International Infection Prevention Week (IIPW) October 19-25, 2008. APIC’s
goal is to have all 50 states and Congress issue proclamations recognizing IIPW 2008.
International Infection Prevention Week was established in 1986 by President Ronald
Reagan who proclaimed the third week in October as National Infection Control Week
and called all 'federal, state, and local government agencies, health organizations,
communications, media, and people' to take part in educational activities and programs
during this designated week.
Since its creation, APIC has continued the tradition of recognizing IIPW. This year’s
commemorative ceremony at the National Press Club in Washington, DC on October 22
will feature a presentation on the federal government’s infection prevention plan by
Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary for Health, U.S. Department of Health and Human
Services, Don Wright, MD, MPH.
With the theme of “Infection Prevention Is Everyone’s Business,” this year’s events will
highlight the work of infection preventionists throughout the world. Infection
preventionists direct interventions that protect patients from healthcare-associated
infections (HAIs) in clinical and other settings. They work with clinicians and
administrators to improve patient and systems-level outcomes and reduce HAIs and
related adverse events.
“IIPW presents an opportunity to spread the word about infection prevention and to
educate important audiences – policy-makers, consumers, healthcare leaders and
advocacy groups -- about the need for well-supported infection prevention departments,”
said APIC CEO Kathy L. Warye. “We ask healthcare leaders to join with us in making
infection prevention a priority -- from the C-suite to the bedside.”
APIC’s mission is to improve health and patient safety by reducing risks of infection and
other adverse outcomes. The association’s 12,000 members direct infection prevention
programs that save lives and improve the bottom line for hospitals and other healthcare
facilities around the globe. APIC advances its mission through education, research,
collaboration, practice guidance, public policy and credentialing.
