WHY CHOOSE US
Infection is the invasion and multiplication of microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, and parasites that are not normally present within the body and take the form of a disease. These microorganisms easily exist in hospitals and when these microorganisms attack the human body at such places are considered hospital-acquired infections, sometimes also known as healthcareassociated infections (HAI) or nosocomial infections. Hospitalacquired infections have shown to be expensive and extend patients’ stay in the hospital along with the increase in mortality rate. All healthcare organizations and their workers need to ensure that effective infection control practices are implemented and have been followed for the care of patients to achieve patient safety. Many healthcare organizations, professional associations, government, and accrediting agencies, regulatory authorities, and consumer advocacy groups have modernized the prevention of healthcare–associated infections as a national crucially. Hence, it plays a very vital role globally
