Infection Control Programs

Infection Control Programs are organized efforts within healthcare settings to prevent and reduce the spread of infections. They involve practices such as proper hand hygiene, sterilizing equipment, using protective gear, and managing waste safely. These programs aim to protect patients, healthcare workers, and visitors by minimizing opportunities for germs to spread. They also include staff training, monitoring infection rates, and updating safety procedures based on new evidence. Overall, infection control programs are essential for creating a safe environment and ensuring high standards of health and safety.
