Nosocomial Infections & Control
Nosocomial infections, also known as hospital-acquired infections (HAIs), are infections that develop during a patient’s stay in healthcare facilities such as hospitals, clinics, or intensive care units. These infections can be caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi, or other pathogens and are often associated with invasive procedures, medical devices, or prolonged hospitalization. Effective infection prevention and control strategies are essential to protect patients, healthcare workers, and hospital environments. Advances in surveillance systems, sterilization methods, antimicrobial stewardship, and healthcare protocols continue to improve patient safety and reduce the spread of healthcare-associated infections.
