Hospital-acquired infection (HAI) is an undesirable consequence in the practice of diagnosis, treatment and patient care. HAI increases the incidence of disease, raises mortality rates, prolongs treatment duration and especially increases treatment costs. HAI occurs at high density in medical facilities that do not strictly adhere to aseptic practice procedures and where knowledge and attitudes regarding infection control among healthcare staff are limited. Therefore, healthcare workers, especially those in the infection control field, need to be trained and equipped with comprehensive knowledge to coordinate with other specialties, ensuring infection control and patient safety in care and treatment.
