Infection control is the cornerstone of quality healthcare. HAIs pose significant risks, including prolonged hospital stays, increased treatment costs, and elevated morbidity and mortality rates. Adhering to infection control guidelines minimizes the risk of cross-contamination, protects vulnerable patients, and enhances overall healthcare outcomes.
The BICSL program emphasizes practical skills such as hand hygiene, use of personal protective equipment (PPE), environmental cleaning, and safe handling of medical equipment and waste. Mastering these practices helps prevent the spread of bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens within healthcare settings.
