Special infection-control programme launched

Mohali: To mark November as World Quality Month, a special infection-control programme was launched at Max Super Speciality Hospital. The programme aims at sensitising the staff about their role and responsibility in reducing hospital-acquired infections besides helping in improving clinical outcomes and patient safety. A commitment tree was created, on which every employee wrote a pledge towards the cause of safer and infection-free environment. The staff carries out a baton march holding placards. They wore badges reading "clean hands, save lives". The employees also presented a dance item to highlight the importance of infection-control practices. They called members from the audience, whose hands were tested for hygiene using glow germ. — TNS
