Title: Infection Control in Singapore


1
Why Infection Control is So Important in Hospital
2
A clean environment is not only a healthy place
for healing but is also a healthy place for
working. Infection control is so important in the
medical field that it has become a separate sub
discipline of epidemiology, at least in theory.
Sadly, many people are unaware of its importance
and neglect the basic rules of preventing
infections.
3
Even in hospitals you could see different
instances where infection control is ignored and
thus lead to more people turning victims to
different kinds of diseases. Ironically,
infection can easily be controlled today with
different products that are being developed
thanks to the introduction and growth of
technology in medical science.
4
The guidelines emphasize on the importance of
cleanliness, hand washing, disinfecting,
sterilization and other related factors which can
help keep the workplace and oneself clean and
free from infections.
5
Infection control is very important, especially
in hospitals and clinics. A host of infections
are present here and they should not be allowed
to spread. The training program educates the
staff members and the health care workers about
the various infections, their symptoms and the
remedial measures that can be taken.
6
Knowledge is important as it helps in early
detection which can help in controlling infection
before it spreads. Infections can spread and
propagate in many different ways. Awareness
should be spread amongst the workers about
infections, its types, its mode of transmission
and steps to prevent it.
7
Sterilization is very important in hospitals for
there are sick people trying to recover, newborns
that are too young to be strong and patients with
very low resistance. A sterile and clean
environment has to be maintained where infection
causing microorganisms have no room to survive.
8
Personal hygiene, disinfecting, cleaning, and
sterilization must be maintained and the staff
should be taught about its importance and how to
achieve it. The importance of hand washing has to
be explained. The patients and visitors must also
be encouraged to follow the steps prescribed for
effective hand washing.
9
Protective gear is a must for it acts as the
primary barrier between the infection and the
human body. Gloves, aprons, gowns and other
protective gear have to be worn as required.
After each use, they have to be disposed off
safely. What cannot be disposed off has to be
disinfected properly for next use.
10
In spite of all care being taken and all the
protocols in place, there may sometimes be some
unfortunate situations when health care personnel
may be exposed to infections. A good knowledge of
infection control helps the infected person and
the staff deal with the out break.
11
Infection control guidelines help create a safe
and clean environment in the hospitals and
clinics. A clean, hygienic environment is a
perfect healing place, free from infections and a
perfect place of work too. One must try and
follow the guidelines wherever possible to remain
free from infections.
