Overview

Why Attend

This course offers a training course on The Importance of Hygiene and Sterilization in Hospitals. Disinfection and sterilization in hospitals and healthcare centers are essential to ensure that medical and surgical instruments do not transmit infectious pathogens to patients. Multiple studies from various countries worldwide have revealed non-compliance with the established guidelines for disinfection and sterilization, with catastrophic results. Experts agree that thorough cleaning and surface disinfection are essential components of effective infection prevention programs. However, traditional manual cleaning and disinfection practices in hospitals are often suboptimal. This is partly due to a range of staff-related issues faced by many environmental departments. This is where sterilization plays a critical role, as it refers to the process that destroys or removes all forms of microbial life, carried out in healthcare facilities through physical or chemical methods such as steam under pressure, dry heat, or gas.
