WHO experts also assessed the internal infection index of hospitals in developed countries. According to the studies, for every 100 hospitalized people, up to 7 people are infected with a new infection during treatment here. In developing countries, this rate is even higher, up to 10%.
WHO experts also said that hospital infections are much more common in patients in intensive care departments and recovery departments. The number of patients with multiple infections in these departments is 1/3.
WHO calls for all hospital staff to wash their hands more often with antiseptic solutions and without these solutions it is necessary to wash them with regular soap.
