Infection Control Measures in Pediatric Hospitals

Infection control measures in pediatric hospitals are practices designed to prevent the spread of infections among children. These include regular hand hygiene for staff, patients, and visitors, using personal protective equipment like gloves and masks, and maintaining a clean environment. Isolation protocols may be used for patients with contagious diseases to limit exposure. Vaccinations ensure that children are protected against various infections. Staff is trained to recognize and respond to potential outbreaks quickly. Together, these measures create a safer space for young patients, helping to protect their health and promote recovery.
