Why is Infection Control Important
1. Increasing incidence of healthcare associated infection caused by antibiotic resistant organisms.
2. More susceptible patients admitted in HCF.
– Very old and very young
– Immunosuppressed
– Invasive diagnostic and therapeutic procedures
– Chronic diseases

Why is Infection Control Important
3. Emergence of life threatening infection like SARS and other emerging infections.
4. Threat of Pathogenic Avian Flu pandemic and terrorism.
