International Infection Control Branch (IICB)

The International Infection Control Branch (IICB), in CDC’s Division of Healthcare Quality Promotion (DHQP), works to protect patients and healthcare personnel globally, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. Working closely with partners and countries, we support sustainable solutions to infectious disease threats in healthcare delivery including healthcare-associated infections (HAIs), antimicrobial resistance (AR), and infectious disease outbreaks.
