We must combat Hospital-Acquired Infections with prevention.🏥 Hospitals are teeming with pathogens. Contact with infected individuals, including healthcare workers, and airborne transmission through droplets are common transmission routes.  📚 A recent report published on May 6th by the ECDC titled "Point prevalence survey of healthcare-associated infections and antimicrobial use in European acute care hospitals 2022–2023" sheds light on a critical issue. The data, spanning 28 EU/EEA countries plus Kosovo, Montenegro, and Serbia, involved 293,581 patients from 1,250 hospitals and reported 22,806 #healthcareassociatedinfections (HAIs). Key findings include 📊: •7 out of 100 patients acquired infections in hospitals. •1 in 3 bacteria were drug-resistant. This reality underscores the urgent need for proactive infection prevention strategies. By focusing on prevention rather than cure, we can significantly mitigate the risks associated with hospital-acquired infections, safeguarding both patients and healthcare workers. Investing in solutions like BIOVITAE 's no-UV LED technology is crucial. Biovitae offers continuous environmental sanitization without harming animals or people, effectively reducing the presence of harmful pathogens. https://lnkd.in/dMNF8U-T
