This journal focuses on the prevention and control of infections within healthcare settings. It examines strategies for reducing healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) such as surgical site infections (SSIs), central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSIs), and urinary tract infections (UTIs). The scope includes the investigation of antibiotic resistance, the development of antimicrobial stewardship programs, and the evaluation of environmental contamination and disinfection practices. Additionally, it addresses the role of healthcare personnel, patient perspectives, and the impact of organizational factors on infection prevention.
