Violations of the sanitary and epidemiological regime result in healthcare-associated infections, complaints and remarks during inspections. The course systematically examines general issues of epidemiological safety: prevention of HAIs, requirements for asepsis and antisepsis, handling of medical waste and current regulatory requirements.
