ASSESSMENT OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS OF A PUBLIC HOSPITAL
Abstract:
Due to the fact that many infectious agents are present in hospitals, patients can become
infected when they receive medical care and health workers may become ill during service. These
diseases can be transmitted to other people who come into contact with the patients or staff.(1) A good
management of nosocomial infections decreases the hospital microbiological load and, as well as the
direct and indirect costs involved in a case of hospital infection.(2) This paper aims at investigating the
quality of hospital care, high-risk behaviours among the medical personnel regarding the occurrence of
nosocomial infections and at identifying those qualitative cleaning, disinfection, sterilization and
occupational risk indices that improve the management of nosocomial infections in a medical unit with
beds.
