Infection Control and Hospital-Acquired Infections
Hospital-acquired infections (HAIs) are infections that patients acquire while receiving treatment for other conditions within a healthcare setting. Infection control and hospital-acquired infections must be managed through vigilant infection control practices, which help minimize the risks associated with pathogens, including bacteria, viruses, or fungi. These infections often arise due to breaches in hygiene, improper sterilization, or the overuse of antibiotics, which may contribute to antimicrobial resistance. By implementing robust infection control protocols, including environmental cleaning, regular monitoring, and staff education, hospitals can reduce the prevalence of HAIs. The focus on early detection and rapid response to outbreaks is also crucial in containing infections and preventing further transmission among vulnerable populations.
