Reference: Although health outcomes have improved in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) over the past few decades, a new reality is within reach. Changing health needs, rising public expectations, and ambitious new health goals require health systems to deliver better outcomes. However, in many developing countries, poor health systems are one of the main barriers to accessing quality health care. However, poor countries are not the only ones facing problems with inadequate health systems, as a large part of the population in some rich countries does not have access to quality medical care, because social protection systems are not always equitable. In others, there is an escalation of spending due to inefficient use of resources. This requires a paradigm shift in management and governance, funding and resource allocation, as well as accountability frameworks and public health actions. In this logic, healthcare-associated infections, as diseases caused by a micro-organism and contracted during an act performed by a caregiver (doctor or paramedical staff), and which generate a considerable cost, both economically and humanly, remain and remain a real public health problem, on a global scale, for any hospital establishment. Hence the need to review their prevention strategy, in particular: the identification of the sources of infections and their modes of transmission, as well as the adoption of protective measures, necessary to prevent the transmission or reduce the risk of transmission of microorganisms to patients, health care providers, and hospital users.
