“…The design of the laboratory's record-keeping system if developed in collaboration with the infection control team accommodates the needs of the IPC program. Surveillance data should be regularly reported and shared at the regional and global levels [43]. There is also an urgent need to build laboratory capacity for ensuring reliable and rapid test results.…”

Purpose of review Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) and rising antimicrobial resistance (AMR) have posed a major challenge in patient care across the globe, more so in lower-middle-income countries (LMICs). Studies have shown that implementation of an effective infection prevention and control (IPC) program reduces incidence of HAI to a large extent. However, implementation of such a program in low-resource setting has many challenges. Research have shown that gaps exist due to absence of political will, trained manpower, and alternate healthcare priorities. Recent findings With progress in science of healthcare epidemiology and digital communication, opportunities to establish an effective IPC program at minimal cost is possible. In this review, we explore ways the existing challenges can be mitigated in LMICs. In recent times, the UN general assembly along with World Health Organization (2015) and member countries took a resolution to come up with an action plan to tackle the rising threat of AMR by strengthening IPC programs at national level.Summary We reviewed the progress made by the developing countries in their efforts to implement the program.

“…ARCP workshops has been performed since 2010 even before the Minister's regulation was issued. Based on the 2016 ARCP workshop data, we discovered that in 2010, as a pilot project, 20 General Hospitals has performed ARCP workshops (Simões, 2016). However, until 2016 only 112 hospitals has participated in the workshop.…”

Abstract. In order to control Antibacterial Resistance at the hospital in Indonesia, the Government of Indonesia established an Antibiotics Resistance Control Committee and issued a Regulation from the Ministry of Health, regulation no 8/2015 on an antibiotics resistance control program at the hospital. This is an investigation on the Antibacterial Resistance Control Program (ARCP) at the Hospital, which compares its implementation at a government hospital and a private hospital, Persahabatan Central General Hospital (CGH) and Bogor Indonesian Red Cross Hospital (BIRCH). This was a descriptive study with a qualitative analysis obtained through indepth interviews and documentary research. We discovered that the ARCP was implemented better at Persahabatan CGH compared to BIRCH. Problems include ineffective communication, limited resources, lack of an antibiotic guideline (at BIRCH), lack of coordination between organizations, lack of supervision from the government, and the lack of motivation to implement the policy. These issues can be solved by intensifying the socialization of the policy, conducting more workshops and trainings for private and government hospitals that has not received any, providing an incentive for them to implement the program, such as including ARC into hospital accreditation indicators, and clarifying the benefits of the program to the stakeholders. Abstrak. Salah satu upaya pengendalian resistensi antibiotika di Indonesia adalah pembentukan pembentukan Komite Pengendalian Resisten Antibiotika (KPRA) dan diterbitkannya Permenkes no. 8 Tahun 2015 tentang program pengendalian resistensi antibiotika (PPRA) di rumah sakit (RS). Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menggali lebih dalam terhadap implementasi kebijakan PPRA di RS dibandingkan antara RS pemerintah dengan RS swasta yaitu RS Persahabatan dan RS PMI. Metode penelitian merupakan studi deskriptif dengan analisis kualitatif melalui wawancara mendalam dan telaah dokumen. Hasil penelitian menyimpulkan bahwa pelaksanaan PPRA di RS Pemerintah lebih baik dari RS Swasta. Saran yang diajukan adalah mempercepat peningkatan kesadaran akan pentingnya PPRA, terutama bagi RS.

ResumoA qualidade dos serviços está diretamente relacionada à capacidade de satisfazer as necessidades dos clientes. O movimento pela qualidade têm se expandido para o setor da saúde e o controle de infecção hospitalar é uma das medidas para avaliação da qualidade da assistência, pois tal controle permite que a instituição de saúde avalie a estrutura em que o serviço é prestado, como está sendo realizado e os resultados dessa assistência, evidenciado pelo aumento ou diminuição das infecções relacionadas à saúde. A avaliação da prática de higienização das mãos dos profissionais de saúde é uma das medidas mais importantes para verificar a aderência à prática pelos profissionais, pois, as IRAS são uma grande maioria das causas de morbimortalidade em pessoas que se submetem a procedimentos
