The assessment was conducted in five conflict affected districts (Barda, Agdam, Fuzuli, Tartar and Agjabadi), Absheron district and Sumgait city.
The initiative aims to ensure that vaccination is carried out safely without an additional risk of COVID-19 or other infections to patients. The assessment at the primary healthcare centres will inform the creation of national primary healthcare guidance, which can be used much beyond the current emergency.
During the assessments, many posters on hand hygiene were distributed, and up-to-date recommendations on hand hygiene were shared with the health care facility staff and managers. Also, open-air training sessions were held on the principles of infection prevention and control for primary healthcare professionals and vaccinators.
