Abstract

Health care-associated infections are infections that occur while receiving health care, developed in a hospital or other health care facility that first appear 48 hours or more after hospital admission, or within 30 days after having received health care. Multiple studies indicate that during hospital stay patients get exposed to several hospitals associated infections such as pneumonias and catheter associated urinary tract infections .Simple infection control procedures, good sterilization techniques, use of combination antibiotics can prevent or minimize hospital associated infections. Recently Covid 19 pandemic caused a havoc in hospitals and became the most common infection that was spread among health care staff as well as patients leading to many hospitals suspending their surgical procedures and maternity care.
