However, HAIs can be prevented by applying effective infection prevention and control (IPC) measures. The World Health Organization (WHO) implemented an infection prevention and control (IPC) programme to reduce the impact of HAIs, significant for ensuring patient safety in hospitals by allocating adequate members to look after various aspects. By preventing and controlling infections various practices have been used. A Global Infection Prevention and Control Network (GIPCN) was introduced to reduce the burden of outbreaks worldwide.
