How Stop The Spread of Infections - example MRSA

Male: So a way to prevent it would be good cleanliness, washing of the hands, don’t share wet towels in gyms and things like that? Dr. Shelov: Absolutely. The timing of this report is actually an important one, even though the organism has been around for a while. It reinforces the need to be absolutely 100% excellent technique in the hospitals where the professionals are. Hand washing, hand washing, hand washing. Anything less than hand washing before and after contact with patients is not acceptable. If we really do stick to careful hygiene control, keeping surfaces clean and hand washing, we can prevent the transmission of this organism, which is out there. But it needs to be vigorous, it needs to be multi-leveled, reinforced. And everyone has to say that. We now wear a badge here at the Children’s Hospital of New – and the badge says “Please ask me if I cleaned my hands”. So everyone is empowered because of this particular badge to say “Did you clean your hands? Did you wash your hands?” It just reminds everyone that that has to be everybody’s vigilance, to clean.
