Bundaberg Hospital
Healthcare associated infections (HAI) are infections that patients acquire during the course of receiving treatment for other conditions, or that healthcare workers acquire whilst performing work duties within a healthcare setting. HAIs can be very serious and may increase length of hospital stay. A proportion of HAI are preventable. Prevention and control of these infections in hospitals is a priority for Queensland Health and is the key to keeping patients and staff safe.
