Abstract: Infection prevention and control (IPC) is a central function of healthcare facilities and health systems as they respond to rapidly emerging infectious diseases. Recent events, such as the West Africa Ebola outbreak and the COVID-19 pandemic, have put these capabilities to the test in many different settings. This chapter will present an overview of IPC in managing these infectious disease outbreaks or pandemics and look at the most recent ideas for how to implement emergency IPC programmes, based on adapted and feasible IPC policies.
