Program Description:
A recent report from the World Health Organization estimated that over 3 million patients could die each year from healthcare associated infections if something isn’t urgently done. Effective, yet simple infection prevention practices, such as regular hand hygiene, proper sterilization of equipment, and adherence to guidelines for the use of personal protective equipment (PPE), allow workers to treat patients safely while creating an environment with much less risk for the public.
