Why Is Infection Control Important?
Infection control is crucial because it directly prevents the spread of diseases, ensuring the safety and health of individuals in various settings, such as hospitals, schools, and dentistry facilities. By implementing effective infection control measures, healthcare providers can significantly reduce the transmission of harmful pathogens. Moreover, these practices protect vulnerable populations, including the elderly, young children, and immunocompromised individuals. Infection control enhances overall public health, reduces healthcare costs, and minimizes the risk of outbreaks.
