Prof. Allon Moses, chair of Hadassah’s Department of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases, led the team from Hadassah. Accompanying him were Carmela Schwartz, nursing director of Hadassah’s Ambulatory Center for Infectious Diseases; Dr. Shmuel Benenson, head of Hadassah’s Infection Prevention and Control Unit; and Tamara Zeiter, a senior microbiologist at Hadassah. “We felt that there is a great spirit and desire to advance in infection prevention and control,” notes Schwartz. At Ayder Hospital the Hadassah team emphasized was the need for education in basic infection prevention for every single health care worker. The above is just a sampling of the recommendations the Hadassah specialists offered in their comprehensive and detailed report for their colleagues.
