Healthcare Associated Infections

Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) are a persistent concern in healthcare settings worldwide, representing a significant burden on patient health and healthcare systems. These infections, acquired during the course of medical care, encompass a wide range of conditions, including bloodstream infections, surgical site infections, and healthcare-associated pneumonia. Factors contributing to HAIs may include invasive medical procedures, improper hand hygiene practices, and contaminated medical equipment. Addressing HAIs requires a concerted effort from healthcare professionals, infection control teams, and policymakers to implement evidence-based strategies aimed at reducing transmission and preventing infections. By prioritizing infection prevention and control measures, healthcare facilities can effectively minimize the incidence of HAIs, safeguard patient well-being, and optimize healthcare delivery.
