Welcome to the Gauteng Infection Control Society

What we do

The GICS (Gauteng Infection Control Society) is a chapter of FIDSSA (Federation of Infectious Diseases Societies of Southern Africa).

We are committed to a unified approach to the prevention and control of infections associated with a visit to a healthcare facility and to create a safer environment for both patients and staff.

Our vision is to empower our members with sound and evidence based knowledge to establish healthcare facilities without infections.

The next Study Day will be on the 25th of March 2026 at Mark’s Park Emerentia
