THE ROLE AND TASKS OF MEDICAL STAFF IN PREVENTING HOSPITAL INFECTIONS
Abstract
This article provides a comprehensive scientific and theoretical overview of the mechanisms of origin of hospital (nosocomial) infections, the factors that cause their spread in medical institutions, as well as the responsibility and practical activities of medical personnel in preventing such infections. Hospital infections are one of the serious global problems of the modern healthcare system, which leads to prolonged treatment, additional costs, disability and even an increase in mortality. According to the World Health Organization, millions of patients acquire additional infections in hospital settings every year, which undermines the effective use of the healthcare system.
