These infections are the cause of serious illnesses, prolonged length of stay in healthcare establishments, and long-term disabilities. long term, significant costs for patients and their families, high additional financial burdens on health systems, and worst of all, the tragic loss of life. HAIs are a cross-cutting problem, largely unknown or underestimated, that no healthcare establishment or no country can claim to have solved. The WHO mentions in its latest global report on infection control that in acute treatment hospitals, out of 100 patients, 7 in high-income countries and 15 in low- and middle-income countries contract at least one nosocomial infection. during their hospitalization. According to the WHO, Global data estimates that 1.4 million people are affected by nosocomial infections each year and that in low- and middle-income countries, 1 in 10 patients acquire an infection while receiving care, up to 90% of health workers do not wash their hands in some health facilities. Effective IPC measures are proven to prevent up to 70% of healthcare-associated infections. The baseline infection prevention and control (IPC) assessment, conducted between August and December 2020 in 1,106 facilities across 22 countries by the International Rescue Committee (IRC), revealed key gaps and areas requiring an improvement in PCI. This includes a lack of human and material resources, limited access to IPC training, inadequate institutional policies/guidelines, as well as poor health infrastructure. The Central African Republic is a country that extends over 623,000 km2. It is completely landlocked and is more than 1000 km from the ports of Douala in Cameroon and Pointe-Noire in Congo. It is limited to the north by Chad, to the east by Sudan and South Sudan, to the west by Cameroon, to the south by the Democratic Republic of Congo and the Republic of Congo to the south. According to projection data from the General Population and Housing Census (RGPH) in 2003, the Central African population is estimated in 2023 at 6,399,458 inhabitants. This population is made up of 1,107,106 children aged 0 to 59 months, or 17.3%, and 1,574,266 women of childbearing age, or 24.6%. Life expectancy at birth is 53.3 years, and there is a very high morbidity and mortality rate with a low Universal Health Coverage index (WHO 2022 annual report) according to the same report, Viral hepatitis constitutes a real threat to the Central African populations. The 5 main viruses responsible for viral hepatitis are found in the Central African Republic with high prevalences, for HBsAg, for Anti-HCV, for Anti-HVD, 25.8% for Anti-HEV. Prevention, screening, treatment and care services for viral hepatitis are not sufficiently integrated into the country's health establishments. Screening is mainly carried out in the two large reference laboratories in the capital Bangui, in the laboratories of the University Hospitals and the CNRISTTAR as well as in the laboratory of the Blood Transfusion Center and in the health facilities supported by the MSF in Bangui, Bangassou, Kabo , Batangafo, Bossangoa. PCI is implemented in CAR with activities to combat Covid-19 infection. Assessments were carried out asynchronously in different health facilities across the country and the results of these assessments were shared on the Kobo collect software. The score obtained from the last supervision of the month was 51. Which gave a national score of 54%. [Disclaimer: The above text is machine translated.
