Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) occur when patients acquire infections during their stay in a healthcare setting, such as hospitals or long-term care facilities. These infections can arise from various sources, including surgical procedures, invasive devices, and the transmission of pathogens from healthcare personnel or contaminated surfaces. Common types of HAIs include surgical site infections, bloodstream infections, and pneumonia. Preventing HAIs is critical for patient safety and involves strict adherence to hygiene protocols and infection control practices.
