Infection prevention and control measures when caring for patients with suspected or confirmed respiratory #diphtheria 📣 Prior to any interaction with a patient, health and care workers should assess the likelihood of potential exposure to infectious agents for themselves and others and should take precautions accordingly. This includes, for example, hand hygiene according to the WHO 5 moments, patient placement and the selection and use of personal protective equipment (PPE). #respiratory #publichealth #SDG3

Did You Know? 🩺 Infection control is not just about hand hygiene or surface cleaning. One of the most overlooked aspects is sterilization of medical instruments. For instance, glutaraldehyde, a powerful disinfectant, is used to sterilize medical equipment like endoscopes that cannot be autoclaved. However, improper use can be hazardous. It’s essential to follow safety protocols to prevent toxic exposure or ineffective sterilization. Small details like this can make a big difference in preventing the spread of infections and improving patient safety. Always stay informed, stay safe! #InfectionControl #HealthcareSafety #PublicHealth #Sterilization #PatientSafety
