Lecture on Prevention of Infection at Sujata Birla Hospital

Hospital Acquired Infections (HAIs) are a serious threat to patient and healthcare professional safety. In order to keep hospitals as safe as feasible by preventing such infections, efforts are taken at Sujata Birla Hospital by considering morbidity, mortality, prolonged duration of stay, and cost.

The prevention and reduction of healthcare-associated infections is a top priority for the Sujata Birla Hospital. Therefore, we conducted a lecture on ‘Prevention of Infection’ at Sujata Birla Hospital on July 26th, 2022. The speaker of the lecture was Dr Vipul Gatani. 

Healthcare-associated infections are the most common problem impacting hospital patients. They frequently result in extended hospital stays and unnecessarily suffer patients and their families. It also comes at a great expense to the health system.

A realistic, evidence-based strategy called infection prevention and control (IPC) guards against preventable infections and the effects of antibiotic resistance in patients and healthcare professionals. No one should contract an infection while receiving medical care, but outbreaks and several standard care procedures can transmit these infections, which annually harm hundreds of millions of people worldwide. Hospitals’ use of infection prevention and control procedures is crucial in lowering antibiotic resistance. 

With the current rise in viruses like the

Monkeypox virus, Marburg virus, and Covid

, it is essential to keep the hospital staff updated on guidelines regarding the prevention of infection. This enables to make medical care easily accessible and function smoothly.

Sujata Birla Hospital ensures to provide the best quality care treatment to its patients, and the contribution of the hospital staff is the most essential in this case.
