Background Surgical site infections (SSIs) are the most frequent health-care-associated infections in developing countries. Specific prevention measures are highly effective, but are often poorly implemented. We aimed to establish the effect of a multimodal intervention on SSIs in Africa.Methods We did a before-after cohort study, between July 1, 2013, and Dec 31, 2015, at five African hospitals. The multimodal intervention consisted of the implementation or strengthening of multiple SSI prevention measures, combined with an adaptive approach aimed at the improvement of teamwork and the safety climate. The primary outcome was the first occurrence of SSI, and the secondary outcome was death within 30 days post surgery. Data on adherence to SSI prevention measures were prospectively collected. The intervention effect on SSI risk and death within 30 days post surgery was assessed in a mixed-effects logistic regression model, after adjustment for key confounders.Findings Four hospitals completed the baseline and follow-up; three provided suitable (ie, sufficient number and quality) data for the sustainability period. 4322 operations were followed up (1604 at baseline, 1827 at follow-up, and 891 in the sustainability period). SSI cumulative incidence significantly decreased post intervention, from 8 .0% (95% CI 6.8-9.5; n=129) to 3.8% (3.0-4.8; n=70; p
