MOH-Gaza launches the Palestinian guide to infection prevention and control

The Ministry of Health launched the Palestinian Guide to Infection Prevention and Control, in cooperation with the World Health Organization.

Deputy Minister of Health, Dr. Youssef Abu Al-Rish stated that universities in Gaza Strip will be addressed to include the guide within the health curriculum and courses, as the Ministry of Health will not approve the profession’s practice certificate for students without studying one of the courses prepared for the infection prevention and control guide.

He added that the ministry is seeking to launch a training platform to supervise granted certificates, especially non-governmental institutions, to be licensed to provide their health services.
