Essential guidelines for protecting patients and staff.
The list below presents the different types of infection prevention and control related guidelines and standards that have been developed as references specifically for various healthcare sectors and facilities.
As the secretariat for the National Infection Prevention and Control Committee (NIPC) has transitioned from MOH to the Communicable Diseases Agency (CDA), please direct any queries on the guidelines/standards to NIPC_Sec@cda.gov.sg instead of NIPC_Sec@moh.gov.sg.
