Infection prevention and control measures must be embedded into daily practices to improve future pandemic responses, reducing risks for communities and healthcare workers.
COVID-19 pandemic response revealed significant vulnerabilities in pandemic preparedness, including supply chain issues for PPE and lack of IPC expertise integration in health systems.
Assessment using experiences from COVID-19 demonstrates ongoing challenges in healthcare worker burnout and systems' capacity thresholds during crises, necessitating robust planning.
