"First do no harm-- Safe practice is a primary objective in healthcare. Safety lies at the heart of the way each procedure is performed, and is at the heart of what each student learns. One simple way to improve the safety of each patient interaction is to improve infection control practices. This alone can significantly reduce healthcare-related infections, reduce neonatal mortality and save countless millions of rands on hospital days. Infection control is part of the core curriculum of every healthcare qualification and is the responsibility of everyone in the healthcare environment. Incorrect or inadequate procedures and processes endanger both the patient and the healthcare professional."--Back cover.
