Nosocomial infections, also known as healthcare-associated infections (HAIs), are infections acquired within healthcare facilities, such as hospitals or nursing homes. They often arise from invasive procedures, antibiotic use, or breaches in infection control practices. To prevent these infections, healthcare facilities must implement stringent hygiene protocols, such as regular handwashing, sterilization of equipment, and isolation of infected patients. Ongoing staff training and monitoring of infection rates are also essential to minimize the risk and ensure patient safety.
