NeoIPC Surveillance Toolkit

This page contains the protocols and data sheets necessary for carrying out surveillance of healthcare-associated infections (HAI) in neonatology using the system developed by the NeoIPC Consortium. The protocol provides methodological reference and offers support for carrying out HAI surveillance in neonatal units, whether they are taking part in the NeoDeco study or not.
