The Simulation Model of the World Health Organization (MWHO) at the Faculty of Pharmacy, October University for Modern Sciences and Arts (MSA University), is organizing an awareness session titled: “Hand Hygiene and Its Role in Infection Control”
This initiative comes as part of the faculty’s ongoing efforts to promote public health awareness and align student activities with global health priorities and the World Health Organization’s agenda.
The session will be delivered by Dr. Ahmed Askar, Head of the Infection Control Unit at Ahl Masr Hospital, Ph.D. in Medical Microbiology and Immunology, and Infection Control Manager at Ahl Masr Burn Hospital. Dr. Askar will share his expertise on the critical importance of hand hygiene as a fundamental practice in preventing the spread of infections within healthcare settings and the wider community.
The session aims to highlight evidence-based infection control practices, address challenges related to compliance, and emphasize the role of healthcare professionals and students in safeguarding patient safety and promoting community well-being.
This initiative reflects the Faculty of Pharmacy’s commitment to fostering practical educational experiences that bridge academic knowledge with real-world healthcare practices, while empowering students to contribute effectively to public health awareness and infection prevention efforts.
