Hospitals must maintain sterile environments to minimize the risk of infections, which can significantly affect patient outcomes. A sterile setting helps prevent the transmission of harmful microorganisms, especially to vulnerable patients with compromised immune systems. Additionally, maintaining sterility is crucial during surgical procedures and invasive treatments to reduce complications and ensure patient safety. Overall, a sterile environment is essential for promoting healing and preventing healthcare-associated infections.
