In June, the AMR/IPC Champion Program entered the phase of completing the quality improvement project with the active participation of expert groups from Hanoi Medical University (HMU) and EICI Cho Ray, Hue Central and Central Tropical Hospitals.
Specifically, the HMU expert group provided detailed comments for the draft quality improvement project on infection control (IPC), drug resistance (AMR) and antibiotic use management (ASP) of 05 Champion hospitals. Comments focused on feasibility, results measurement methods, sustainability of the solution and specific implementation steps appropriate to each hospital's conditions.
Following that, EICI hospitals have deployed direct technical assistance (TA) rounds at 04 hospitals: Thai Nguyen Central General Hospital, Central Highlands Region General Hospital, Thong Nhat Dong Nai General Hospital and Quang Nam General Hospital. Content of TA trips includes:
-
Support the completion of quality improvement projects on IPC, AMR, ASP in accordance with the guidance framework and preparation for field implementation;
-
Review ongoing activities in the three areas of IPC, AMR and ASP, and advise on technical and management solutions suitable to the actual conditions at each hospital;
-
Organize in-depth training sessions on infection control, AMR and ASP for staff at Central Highlands General Hospital and Thong Nhat Dong Nai General Hospital, contributing to consolidating knowledge and skills in implementing quality improvement at the front line.
