The Programme is Dedicated to Two Great people who contributed for
Human Survival

It is the duty of everyone to control the Infections in the Health care
Demonstrate the devastating effects of inadequate infection control and know how to minimize the risks of contamination
Dr.T.V.Rao MD 4
All the Health care Professional should be familiar
Know the extent of the problem of infection
Know the main causes and types of infection
Dr.T.V.Rao MD 5
All the Health Care Professionals to be Familiar

increased rates of nosocomial infections
Dr.T.V.Rao MD 8
What Happens to Infected Patients
infected patients: stay longer in hospital die treated with more toxic

urinary track infections usually associated with catheters
Surgical infectionsblood stream infections associated with the use of an

Encourage others to participate in infection control
students may routinely observe staff who:
apply inadequate technique in hand washing
fail to wash hands
routinely violate correct infection control procedures
Dr.T.V.Rao MD 23
What are Our Responsibilities
accept responsibility for minimizing opportunities for infection transmission
educate patients and families/visitors about clean hands and infection transmission

Never Forget Everyone is a Active Member in the Infection
Control
