Nosocomial Infections & Control
Nosocomial infections, also known as hospital-acquired infections, are infections that patients develop during their stay in healthcare facilities. These infections arise from exposure to contaminated equipment, surfaces, or improper hygiene practices. Effective control measures including sterilization, hand hygiene, surveillance, and antibiotic stewardship are essential to reduce infection rates and improve patient safety. These infections not only increase patient morbidity and mortality but also place a significant burden on healthcare systems worldwide. Strengthening infection control protocols, training healthcare workers, and ensuring proper use of protective equipment are key steps in preventing their spread. Continuous monitoring and adherence to safety standards remain crucial in maintaining a safe clinical environment.
