Get to know the Namibia Infection Prevention and Control Association our story, purpose, and the people driving change.
NIPCA was established to give Namibia's infection prevention professionals a unified national platform one that goes beyond individual facilities and creates a connected, empowered community.
We bring together healthcare workers, IPC focal persons, students, academic institutions, and national partners under one umbrella, united by the shared goal of reducing healthcare-associated infections and combating antimicrobial resistance.
"A Namibia where every healthcare worker is equipped, supported, and motivated to deliver safe, infection-free care."
