The Turkish Society of Hospital Infections and Infection Control (HIDER) is a leading 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, HIDER aims to create a platform where healthcare professionals can share knowledge and experience while closely following current scientific developments. Through its extensive educational programs, symposia, and congresses, the Society has become a reference institution particularly in critical areas such as the prevention of healthcare-associated infections, combating antimicrobial resistance, hand hygiene practices, and infection control nursing.
