Healthcare-associated infections are infections acquired by patients during their stay in a hospital or another healthcare setting.
Though some of these infections can be treated easily, others may more seriously affect a patient’s health, increasing their stay in the hospital and hospital costs, and causing considerable distress to these patients. 📈 Approximately 4 100 000 patients are estimated to acquire a healthcare-associated infection in the EU each year.
