Kit de herramientas para la implementación de las mejores prácticas
Este kit de herramientas es un documento hermano del de las mejores prácticas y su propósito es que las mejores prácticas definidas se traduzcan en medidas graduales prácticas y alcanzables en los centros de atención médica mundiales en entornos con recursos limitados, particularmente en países de ingresos bajos y medianos. El kit de herramientas aborda los programas de limpieza ambiental a nivel de centro como se definen en el documento sobre las mejores prácticas.
