Infection prevention in Iraq
Target country/region: Irak
Period: März 2021 bis April 2022
We are working together with Viyan, an Iraqi NGO, providing infection prevention trainings in the Ibn Sina Teaching Hospital in Mosul.
The main objective is to prevent infections which often occur in hospital settings, such as pneumonia or multi-resistant germs.
A workshop about hand hygiene held in the hospital.
The trainings cover a wide range of subjects, from hand hygiene training and workshops on preventing infections in the operation theater to lectures on preventing catheter-associated urinary tract infections. Topics such as injection safety and antimicrobial resistances are also covered.
By mid-August, 31 workshops have been conducted of which 421 medical persons participated. The project is to continue until the end of March 2022 to conduct 60 more workshops.
The project is financed by the German Society for International Cooperation.

18 months ago, when we first started, everything happened very quickly. The kid needed a name. We didn't waste a lot of time and thought, too much had to be done... events went head over heels. Anyway, content was more important than the cover.
Die zeitgleich geführten Offensiven verschiedener kurdischer Kampfverbände auf beiden Seiten der syrisch-irakischen Grenze sind vorerst abgeschlossen, beziehungsweise weit genug von unseren üblichen Einsatzorten entfernt. Das hieß für uns, dass sich das nächste Medic-Team letzte Woche auf den Weg machen konnte.
Die Ereignisse in Paris haben auch uns am Wochenende wieder sprachlos zurückgelassen. Ebenso wie die Anschläge in Beirut, Baghdad, im Yemen, in Taiz, in Mokha, in Nairobi; und diese Liste ist nicht abschließend.
