International Infection Prevention Week 2026

International Infection Prevention Week (IIPW) is a global initiative dedicated to raising awareness about the critical importance of infection prevention. Each year, IIPW celebrates the impact of infection preventionists and reinforces the essential practices that protect patients, healthcare workers, and the public. It’s a moment to honour their expertise, amplify their voice, and remind the world that infection prevention saves lives.

In 2026 the theme is Generations of Infection Prevention

Past. Present. Protected. Three words that honor the history, the progress, and the promise of infection prevention.
