Abstract

Nosocomial infections (NIs) are the most important components of problems to assure medical care quality and to create a safe hospital environment. Today there has been a need for revision of the 1999 program document "The nosocomial infections prevention concept" that is determined by the following factors: objective processes of public health care and sanitary epidemiologic service reformation in the country; new research data on the specific features of the epidemiology and epidemic process of NIs in health care facilities (HCFs) of different profile; revaluation of the importance of a biological factor in the formation of health losses in medical personnel; new approaches to organizing and conducting epidemiological surveillance of NIs at the institutional and regional levels; introduction of new medical technologies for the diagnosis and treatment of NIs; development and introduction of new technologies to protect from infections; extensive practical introduction of molecular genetic studies and up-to-date laboratory complexes; considerable changes in the hardware provision of epidemiological diagnosis; realization of many provisions laid down in the early concept: implementation of a mass immunization program; introduction of new indoor air purification technologies, architectural designs in the construction of HCFs, etc.The aim of new concept wording is to define a strategy for the prevention of NIs for the reduction of morbidity, disability, mortality, and economic damage, by developing the theoretical foundations for morbidity control, and to introduce a scientifically sound epidemiological surveillance system and a package of effective organizational, prophylactic, antiepidemic and therapeutic-and-diagnostic measures into practice.
