👉 Disposal-infection, often referred to as infection control, is a critical process aimed at preventing the spread of pathogens from infected individuals to others or from contaminated surfaces to healthy hosts. This involves a series of measures including hand hygiene, use of personal protective equipment (PPE), proper handling and disposal of medical waste, and environmental cleaning. Effective disposal of infectious materials, such as sharps, contaminated linens, and bodily fluids, is essential to minimize the risk of transmission through direct contact, airborne routes, or vector-borne means. Proper protocols ensure that these materials are treated according to regulatory standards, reducing the likelihood of infection outbreaks in healthcare settings and communities.
