Infection Control Hospitals

Infection control in hospitals involves practices, protocols, and measures to prevent the spread of infections among patients, staff, and visitors. This includes hand hygiene, sterilizing equipment, isolating contagious patients, and proper waste management. The goal is to create a safe environment, especially for vulnerable individuals, by reducing the risk of healthcare-associated infections. Effective infection control is essential for patient safety and overall hospital quality, supported by ongoing staff training, monitoring, and adherence to established guidelines.
