Hygiene

Hygiene is essential for every healthcare facility, as it is responsible for protecting the health of millions of people every day. This is why hygiene standards are crucial to prevent cross-contamination and the transmission of infectious diseases.
Surfaces in healthcare facilities are regularly cleaned or sanitised and disinfected. For example, if surfaces are visibly contaminated, if there is a spillage, and always after the patient has been discharged.The type and frequency of routine cleaning depends on the clinical risk, patient flow and surface characteristics.
Environmental hygiene includes effective cleaning of surfaces, disinfection of medical equipment and instruments used during patient care procedures, proper handling of sharp or pointed instruments. Special preparations are required for each cleaning and disinfection step.
