Assessment tools

The WHO headquarters IPC Hub and Task Force have developed numerous assessment tools for use at both the national and facility level. All these tools are freely available through this portal.

The WHO IPC assessment tools are for use by IPC focal points (or other health care professionals) at the national or facility level. These tools are meant to support your IPC programme implementation journey and help you examine your situation and progress against the WHO recommendations on the core components for effective IPC programmes at national and facility level.
