Health Care-Associated Infections (HAIs)” is the expression that has been commonly used to replace “hospital infections”. Part of this is due to the conceptual scope suffered in recent decades. Despite the terminological evolution, the concept is basically the same, because in Brazil Law defined hospital infection as “any infection acquired after a patient is admitted to hospital and which manifests itself during hospitalization or even after discharge, when may be related to hospitalization.” Although dehospitalization has already been advocated as an alternative to avoiding hospital infections, medical literature has demonstrated that infection prevention measures must also be adopted in relation to patients receiving home care. This is an issue of international relevance. It is estimated that every year around 1.5 million people suffer from hospital infections in the world, and that for every 100 hospitalized patients, 10 experience some type of infection in developing countries.
In Brazil, the milestone in the control of hospital infections occurred in, with Ordinance 196, from the Ministry of Health, with the provision of maintaining a Hospital Infection Control Commission (CCIH) in all hospitals in the country. Two years later, elected president Tancredo Neves died , victim of a widespread infection. As a result, ongoing projects gained prominence, and a policy was developed to train human resources in controlling these Middle East Mobile Number List infections. In the same year of, a survey was carried out of Brazilian institutions that already had a functioning CCIH, with the development of new training courses and the accreditation of new training centers. The challenge, however, was (and still is) enormous. In, the Ministry of Health, focusing on 99 tertiary (highly complex) hospitals, located in Brazilian capitals and linked to the SUS, estimated the rate of patients suffering from hospital infections at 13%. The World Health Organization (WHO) would have found a prevalence of 8.7%, in a study in 14 countries, in the period.
This was the scenario found by Law (the one that defines hospital infection), published with the aim of making the maintenance of a hospital infection control program (PCIH) mandatory by the country's hospitals. This program would cover a set of actions developed with a view to reducing the incidence and severity of hospital infections as much as possible. The following year, the Ministry of Health issued Ordinance 2,616, which revoked Ordinance number , from. This aforementioned ordinance had already revoked Ordinance. When defining what would make up the PCIH, Ordinance brought, in its 2nd article, the following reinforcement to Law: “The minimum necessary actions, to be developed, deliberately and systematically, with a view to the maximum possible reduction of incidence and severity of hospital infections, makes up the Hospital Infection Control Program.
