Preventing surgical site infections in east and sub-saharan Africa
This research project provides evidence-based scientific methods for preventing Surgical Site Infections (SSIs) following operative obstetric and gynecologic procedures in East and sub-Saharan Africa. Some examples of these gynecological and obstetric-related procedures are caesarian section, hysterectomies, myomectomies, oophorectomies, and tubal ligations. An initial meta-analysis of 120 articles (n1=120) was used for providing the best infection control protocols that have proven successful in some of the developing and developed countries.
