Why healthcare associated infection is major concern?

Friends, every service has a quality. Like if you go to a hotel to eat food and there you get a TV, a clean table, cold water and very tasty food, then this is the quality of a good hotel. Similarly, when you go to a healthcare facility and you get treatment at the right time, you get good treatment or clinical service while keeping your privacy and your health away from healthcare associated infections, then this is a better quality of healthcare.

Do you know what Healthcare Associated Infection is? Healthcare associated infection means that the infection was not present in your body before 48 hours of receiving the healthcare service but is found in your body after receiving the healthcare facility. So this infection is called healthcare associated infection. That means that infection which you got from some health care facility or health care provider. Nowadays, this healthcare associated infection has become a challenge globally.

Research over many years has found that there are three reasons for the increase in healthcare associated infections, which are called the main reasons. First of all contaminated hands. When hands are not germ-free, there are chances for many types of micro organisms to enter the patient's body. If the area around the patient is not clean, that is, has not been disinfected, then a lot of microorganisms are growing in that area. So the patient can also get infection by coming in contact with these microorganisms.

Article disinfection process which is called sterilization. If our article is not sterile or we have not sterilized it properly using disinfection, then it is possible that it may cause infection in the patient's body during surgery, which is called surgical site infection. This is quite dangerous and can even result in the death of the patient. Over the years in my life, I have seen many people going through the problem of surgical site infection.

Just like a coin has two sides, similarly in healthcare also there are many good hospitals, but in every hospital some patient gets healthcare associated infection at some point of time, even if they don't want to. It is better that we take service in a hospital where the emergency department, operation theater, ward or intensive care unit is certified by the quality council of the country. So that you are saved from putting your life in danger. I hope you liked my blog.
