Message from Award Program Chair and APSIC President

The APSIC Environmental Hygiene Excellence Award celebrates healthcare institutions that demonstrate exceptional leadership and measurable success in maintaining safe environments. Hygiene is a critical step toward safeguarding patient lives.

One of the core components in the infection prevention and control programme is appropriate environmental hygiene practices and protocols. These facilitate practices related to the prevention and control of healthcare associated infections. It is the responsibility of healthcare care institutions to ensure a safe physical hygiene environment.

To pursue these objectives, we would like to invite you to participate in the APSIC Environmental Hygiene Excellence Award.
