Experts say that healthcare managers in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) are reluctant to spend money on infection control because they don’t receive direct revenue from this investment, according to an article on the National website.
This is despite the fact that sometimes even the introduction of simple measures can help greatly in controlling infection rates, the article said.
The provision of hand wipes or sanitizer units, stringent hand washing by staff before and after contact with a patient and greater focus on cleaning of surfaces — are shown to help reduce MRSA infection rates. Terminal cleaning is also proven to be effective in this regard.
