👉 Personnel infections, also known as healthcare-associated infections (HAIs), occur when pathogens enter a patient's body during medical treatment and cause illness. These infections are typically contracted in healthcare settings due to the close proximity of patients and the use of medical devices. Healthcare workers, including nurses, doctors, and support staff, play a crucial role in both preventing and managing these infections. Proper hand hygiene, use of personal protective equipment (PPE), and adherence to infection control protocols are essential practices to minimize the risk of transmission. Additionally, healthcare personnel must be educated on recognizing symptoms of infection and promptly reporting any cases to prevent outbreaks. Effective infection control measures not only protect patients but also ensure the safety and well-being of healthcare providers.
