Infection Control
Infection control is the discipline of prevention and control of infectious agents within healthcare settings. It is important in reducing the spread of infectious diseases and ensuring patient safety. Infection control measures involve the use of safety protocols, including hand hygiene, appropriate use of personal protective equipment, environmental cleaning, and proper disposal of waste, in order to reduce the spread of infectious agents. These measures are essential in protecting both healthcare workers and patients from potentially life-threatening infections.
