Testimonials

I recommend the FIPC course to those working in an IPC role, it is a great course, taught by highly knowledgeable experts with hands-on IPC experience in the African setting. The content is relatable and can be applied almost immediately to your work setting. It is worth the investment.

I am from Nairobi Kenya, working in the Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) Unit, Kenyatta National Teaching and Referral hospital. FIPC course has greatly increased my Knowledge, Confidence and made me a Change agent.Colleagues PLEASE TAKE THE COURSE and join me in making the hospital a SAFE ENVIRONMENT.

Enrolling for IPDIC was the one of the best decisions I have ever taken. The course opened a new horizon for me after 19 years of practice. The lectures are rich and the facilitators are just excellent. I will like recommend the course to anybody who hopes to improve in IPC/WASH practice.
