The importance of hospital infection prevention and control

The new coronavirus pneumonia epidemic suddenly struck, and Wangcang County People's Hospital acted quickly and fully engaged in the battle of epidemic prevention and control.

The hospital's Infectious Disease Department also responded quickly, adding methods and strengthening measures to effectively protect the hospital from infection, ensuring that medical staff and patients were not cross-infected during the treatment period.

“If you don’t sweep one house, how can you sweep the world?”

“As medical staff who save lives and help the wounded, we must first enhance our understanding of the importance and necessity of prevention and control of hospital infections. Only by Only when the hospital is safe can we better treat patients and better protect the life safety and health of the people in the county." This is what Li Li, director of the hospital's infectious disease department and a member of the Communist Party of China, often talks about. A word on the lips.

In this new coronavirus outbreak, Wangcang County People's Hospital is the only designated hospital for the treatment of new coronavirus pneumonia in the county. The risk of hospital infection is several times higher than usual. In order to eliminate these potential risks, Li Li and the hospital infected Tan Lingling, two teachers from the department, have to "walk" on the hospital's building area of ??more than 45,000 square meters several times every day, carefully inspecting every corner, not missing a detail, and not taking any chances.

“Every day before going to bed, we would think about whether there are any potential infection risks that have not been discovered. Often because of our own uncertainty, we would discuss it on the phone, even in the middle of the night, or even go to the scene. Dispose of it." These are Tan Lingling's original words and her work attitude.

As a hospital infection expert, during the epidemic prevention and control period, Li Li not only took on the work of hospital infection in her own hospital, but also used her rich business knowledge and years of work experience to guide 7 medical hospitals in the county. The institution's pre-examination triage and fever clinic work, and relevant prevention and control knowledge training are provided to township health centers across the county, helping township medical staff master professional knowledge on the prevention and control of new coronavirus infection, further improving their understanding of the prevention and control of the new coronavirus epidemic. Job skills.

Home is a resting place, and the hospital is a place of refuge

During the epidemic, for Li Li, home was just a short resting place after she was tired. Faced with a shortage of manpower and a wide investigation area, etc. Many problems forced her to devote a lot of time and energy to her work. When you feel tired, sit on the office chair for a while; when you feel sleepy, lie down on the desk for a while. The epidemic situation is becoming increasingly severe, and the burden of hospital infection prevention and control is getting heavier and heavier. Her hospital's infectious disease department is determined to win, and is doing its best to prevent and control hospital infections, building the first line of defense against the new coronavirus pneumonia epidemic in the hospital.
