Certificate Course in Infection Control for Nurses
Introduction
Infection prevention is not just a policy—it's a daily practice that saves lives. With the rising
incidence of hospital-acquired infections, antimicrobial resistance, and emerging infectious
diseases, trained nurses are the first line of defence.
This 3-month online certificate course, jointly organized by RH Healthcare Simulation Center
and INPA Welfare Foundation, empowers nurses with critical knowledge and skills in Infection
Prevention and Control (IPC). The course is designed to meet WHO, CDC, and NABH
standards and is taught through interactive videos, assessments, case discussions, and online
demonstrations.
Whether you're a student, staff nurse, or educator, this course ensures you're ready to lead IPC
practices in hospitals, clinics, or community settings.
