Other specialties: preventing infectious risk in all care departments

In every hospital or medico-social department, medical procedures, daily care, and patient circulation expose healthcare professionals to a risk of transmitting infectious agents. Controlling infectious risk relies on rigorous hygiene and regular disinfection of the care environment.

Contact surfaces, chairs, trolleys, work surfaces, non-invasive medical devices, computer workstations, and shared equipment must be integrated into a comprehensive strategy for preventing healthcare-associated infections.
