HEALTHCARE WITHOUT AVOIDABLE INFECTIONS: 7 INPUTS TO BE FOLLOWED ACCORDING TO THE WHO

XMed’s commitment in contributing to healthcare-associated infections never goes on holiday! That’s why we chose to share – in Christmas days – the World Health Organisation’s guide-line on infections prevention. 7 clear and essential inputs to be followed:

• Have active infection prevention and control programmes
• Use clean practices
• Practice hand hygiene
• Have enough and healthy staff
• Monitor infections
• Never re-use instruments
• Handle antibiotics with care.

Prevent infections saves lives in health care and contributes to achieving sustainable development goals. MERRY CHRISTMAS!
