Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) pose a significant threat to patients, healthcare professionals, and visitors. The use of safe disinfectants plays a central role in preventing infections in healthcare facilities.
Healthcare facilities are susceptible to infection transmission due to interactions among patients, medical staff, and visitors. Infections associated with healthcare services (HAIs) pose a significant threat to patients, healthcare professionals, and visitors.
Despite the ever-changing landscape of healthcare, infection prevention remains a critical aspect to curb the spread of diseases. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), effective infection prevention measures are crucial to reduce the burden of HAIs. Proper disinfection products and processes are the foundation of these efforts, ensuring that surfaces, medical equipment, and the environment are free from harmful pathogens.
Disinfectants play a crucial role in killing and stopping the development of pathogenic microorganisms, preventing disease outbreaks in healthcare environments. However, these disinfectants contain various active ingredients that, in terms of safety, can pose risks to:
- Operators, patients, and healthcare professionals (respiratory issues, skin irritation, rashes, and other side effects).
- Healthcare equipment and instruments (corrosion, rust, leaving marks/stains).
- The environment (harm to aquatic life, non-biodegradable).
Choosing the right disinfectant is essential to maintain a clean environment in healthcare facilities. The recommended disinfectant is one that has proven effectiveness against various pathogens while being safe. This ensures that healthcare facilities can maintain a high level of cleanliness without compromising safety. Environmentally friendly disinfectants also contribute to a broader commitment to environmental responsibility because a safe disinfectant should not only be safe for humans but also harmless to the environment.
