Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
The World Health Organization's "Clean Care is Safer Care" initiated quality improvement projects in five African hospitals between 2013 and 2015, demonstrating that low-cost interventions can decrease the rates of surgical site infection in low and middle-income countries. This successful initiative formed the basis of the World Health Organization's Surgical Unit Based Safety Programme guidelines.
This will be a prospective cohort study collecting data about surgical practices, pre- and post-operative care and post-operative infection from time of admission through post-operative day 30. Patients will be identified when they are scheduled for surgery and undergo consent process. If they consent to participate in the study their clinical course will be followed through post-operative day 30. Inpatient observational data will be collected to determine whether current practices are in line with World Health Organization's Surgical Unit Based Safety Programme guidelines. Potential confounding risk factors for infection will be identified, and post-operative information will be collected through inpatient follow up as well as telephone calls on post-operative day ten and 30 to assess for signs or symptoms of surgical site infection.

Inclusion Criteria
Exclusion Criteria
* Patients who undergo surgery involving permanent implants (as these patients would require follow up for 1 year to effectively rule out surgical site infection and this is beyond the data collection time frame of this study)
