The APSIC Environment Hygiene Excellence Award (EHEA) has been established as a regional platform to identify, recognise, honour, and celebrate hospitals and healthcare teams that demonstrate excellence in advancing environmental hygiene and patient safety.
This award acknowledges institutions that have made meaningful contributions through:
Hospitals demonstrate unwavering dedication to infection prevention and control practices across all departments and clinical settings.
Leading institutions develop and implement novel approaches to environmental hygiene that advance the field and improve patient outcomes.
Excellence in environmental hygiene directly translates to measurable improvements in patient safety and clinical outcomes.
The APSIC Environment Hygiene Excellence Award celebrates healthcare institutions that demonstrate exceptional leadership and measurable success in maintaining safe environmental hygiene — a critical step toward safeguarding patient lives.
One of the core components in the infection prevention and control programme is appropriate water and sanitation services, environment, and materials and equipment for IPC. These facilitate practices related to the prevention and control of healthcare associated infections. It is the responsibility of healthcare institutions to ensure an adequate hygiene environment — it's a commitment to patient safety at the highest level.
In pursuit of these objectives, we would like to invite you to participate in the Environment Hygiene Excellence Award (EHEA).
Showcase your institution's leadership and excellence in environmental hygiene across the Asia Pacific region.
Implementing environmental hygiene strategies significantly reduces patient morbidity and mortality.
Award recipients are formally recognised at an upcoming APSIC Congress, a regional platform that celebrates their contribution to advancing environmental hygiene excellence across Asia Pacific.
Selected hospitals are invited to share their work in a brief presentation at the APSIC Congress.
Representatives exchange their experiences, innovations, and outcomes with the regional infection prevention community.
Finalist institutions receive a dedicated visit from an independent panel of APSIC experts, and leave with constructive feedback and expert insight that strengthen their programmes long after the award.
Expert guidance to refine and advance your environment hygiene practices.
Support to embed lasting change, not one-off wins.
Help to measure and demonstrate your contribution to patient safety.
