🦠 Infection Control is Patient Safety! 🛡️ Did you know proper hand hygiene is one of the most effective ways to prevent infections in healthcare settings? According to the WHO, hand hygiene improvement programmes can prevent up to 50% of avoidable infections acquired during health care delivery and generate economic savings of, on average, 16 times the cost of implementation. Check out the WHO Multimodal Hand Hygiene Improvement Strategy, which gives practical tools, information, and examples to support implementation. Follow WHO’s guidelines to ensure you’re protecting your patients and yourself. Let’s make infection control a priority! 🌍 🔗 Learn more about WHO guidelines here: https://loom.ly/_3gaHCI  #InfectionControl #PatientSafety #HandHygiene #EORNA #WHO

🛑 Infection Control in the OR: A Critical Priority! 🛑 At #EORNA, we cannot stress enough the importance of infection control in the operating room. Surgical site infections (#SSI) pose a significant risk to patient safety and outcomes. To ensure best practices in preventing SSIs, here are some core measures every OR team should follow: 🔹 Hand Hygiene: Consistent and thorough hand washing before and after every procedure 🔹 Sterile Techniques: Adhering to strict sterile protocols during surgeries 🔹 Proper Use of PPE: Ensuring all team members wear appropriate personal protective equipment 🔹 Environmental Cleaning: Regular and meticulous cleaning of the OR environment 🔹 Antibiotic Prophylaxis: Administering antibiotics appropriately to prevent infections EORNA sponsor, #Hartmann, has put together a comprehensive guide to help OR teams better protect themselves and their patients.

Mpox can spread through close contact with an infected person, contaminated materials, or infected animals.
