Compliance Level among Healthcare Workers of Rural Health Units on the Standard Infection Prevention and Control

In the landscape of community healthcare, the battle against the transmission of infectious diseases is a concern and underscored by the global impact of healthcare-associated infections (HAIs). These infections, which afflict millions annually, not only exacerbate patient suffering through extended recovery times and potential long-term health issues but also impose a heavy financial burden on healthcare systems. The prevalence of healthcare-associated infections can surpass those in more affluent areas by a significant margin, highlighting the critical need for robust infection prevention and control strategies. Within community healthcare settings, where interactions between healthcare providers and patients are frequent, and resources may be scarce, implementing effective infection prevention and control protocols is a significant challenge and an essential requirement to protect public health and prevent the spreading of potentially deadly infections.
