This report highlighted the need for infection prevention and control programs in hospitals at developing countries. To address this problem, Dr. Miguela Caniza, from the Department of Infectious Disease - International Outreach Program (ID-IOP) at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital developed a program to educate personnel in Latin America hospitals on infection prevention and control. Dr. Caniza’s program focuses on nosocomial or hospital-acquired infections which are a serious public health problem in developing countries. Here at Rhodes, the El Salvador program was created to provide students with a practical experience of other cultures while learning about infection prevention and control at an international site. Rhodes students will join Dr. Caniza’s efforts in reducing nosocomial infections in El Salvador. Students will assist in monitoring some aspects of infection prevention and control in public hospitals of El Salvador.Rhodes College owns the rights to the digital objects in this collection.
