HIDER (Turkish Society for Hospital Infections and Control)
HIDER is a pioneering non-governmental organization established to provide scientific, educational, and societal contributions in the field of infection prevention and control within healthcare services.
Founded in 2000, the association has aimed to create a platform where healthcare professionals can share their knowledge and experiences, and stay updated on current scientific advancements. Through its educational programs, symposiums, and congresses—particularly focusing on critical areas such as prevention of hospital-acquired infections, combating antimicrobial resistance, hand hygiene practices, and infection control nursing HIDER has become a reference institution in the field.
With national and international academic collaborations, HIDER seeks to enhance the competencies of healthcare professionals, improve patient safety, and protect public health.
