“To achieve the best infection prevention and control in Egypt”
Healthcare-associated infections are serious issues linked to high mortality, increased morbidity, length of stay and cost of care.We believe in the infection control unit of TBRI that Infection control is an art of how to touch people in such a way to change their behavior. It is a practical application to what built in mind with great beneficial effect on patient safety, hospital quality and country economy. On the other hand, health measures of employees should be considered assets to be developed rather than costs to be cut.
