Three renowned healthcare organizations — the World Health Organization, UNAIDS and International Labour Organization — have released 14-point policy guidelines to better protect healthcare professionals against HIV and TB, according to a news release.
The 14-point guidelines include national policies, workplace actions and budget, monitoring and evaluation protocols. The guidelines include introducing new national policies or refining existing ones to ensure priority access for healthcare professionals and their families to services for prevention, treatment, care and support for HIV and TB; establishing reasonable accommodation and compensation in the event of occupationally-acquired disease; and developing or strengthening infection control programs with respect to TB and HIB infection control.
