THE IMPORTANCE OF HYGIENE

Healthcare associated infections (HCAI) are infections that patients require while receiving treatment for medical or surgical conditions and are the most frequent adverse event during care delivery. HCAI is a major problem for patient safety and its impact can result in prolonged hospital stay, long-term disability, increased resistance of microorganisms to antimicrobial agents, a massive additional financial burden for the health system, high costs for patients and their families, and excess deaths.
