HAIs are infections that patients acquire while receiving medical treatment in a healthcare facility. These infections can be caused by a variety of pathogens, including bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites. HAIs are associated with increased morbidity, mortality, healthcare costs and longer hospital stays. Hand hygiene is the cornerstone of infection prevention in healthcare settings. Healthcare workers should perform hand hygiene with soap and water or alcohol-based hand sanitizers before and after patient contact. Proper hand hygiene breaks the chain of infection transmission and reduces the risk of HAIs. Robust infection prevention protocols are critical for reducing HAIs. These protocols include the proper use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), isolation precautions and adherence to aseptic techniques during invasive procedures. Comprehensive infection control measures should be implemented in all healthcare facilities.
