How Can Hospital Acquired Infections Be Prevented?
Prevention of HAIs in cancer patients involves a combination of strategies. Rigorous hand hygiene practices by healthcare providers, patients, and visitors are essential. The use of personal protective equipment (PPE) when necessary and strict adherence to sterilization protocols for medical instruments can reduce the risk of infection. Additionally, the implementation of antibiotic stewardship programs helps in minimizing the development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
