Abstract

In this research work, a detailed study about Nosocomial infection has been done. Different Nosocomial infections have been discussed and a detailed study about prevention of Nosocomial infection has been done in one of the government healthcare facilities, named as UPHC 4 Rathtola Matrisadan, Rajpur-Sonarpur Municipality, Kolkata-700150. The study aims to highlight effective prevention strategies and measures implemented at this facility to control the spread of infections within the healthcare environment. The findings underscore the importance of stringent infection control practices in reducing hospital-acquired infections. Method: The aforementioned healthcare facility was visited, and an interactive session was held with their staff regarding their methods for controlling nosocomial infections. During the visit, the facility’s registers and patient inflow and outflow methods were observed, providing valuable insights into their infection control practices. Conclusion: After a vivid analysis, a clear idea about Nosocomial infection has been made, and it has been observed that this Nosocomial infection is mainly a Man Made Error for which the main sufferers are healthcare staffs and the patients who visit the healthcare facility. In order to control this, we have to maintain certain basic principle so that we can save not only the life of healthcare related people, but also the general patients.

Keywords: Nosocomial infections, types of nosocomial infection, nosocomial pathogens, epidemiology, infection control team, surveillance, treatment.
