A forum titled “Leadership at the Frontline: Unit Heads’ Critical Role in Infection Prevention” was also held on July 9 to highlight the importance of leadership in sustaining infection control practices.

The celebration culminated on July 11 with a closing ceremony that featured games, prizes, and the awarding of the Photojournalism Contest winner, highlighting the creativity and dedication of UCMed’s healthcare team in promoting a culture of safety.

UCMed remains steadfast in its commitment to uphold the highest standards of infection prevention, ensuring the well-being of patients, staff, and the wider community, embodying this year’s theme.
