Infection Control

At the Shifa hospital, our priority is to minimize the risk of hospital-acquired infections, including MRSA, for each patient. This is achieved through continuous vigilance, robust infection surveillance systems, an extensive in-house audit programme, and the ongoing training of staff at all levels to ensure that the highest standards of cleanliness and safety are met and maintained in line with the requirements of the care quality commission. our infection control procedures are supervised and reinforced by our experience and dedicated infection control nurse ad consultant infection control doctor, with dedicated link practitioners in each department.

All pts admitted to the hospital, including day cases, are screened for MRSA. If the point is carrying MRSA, their procedure may be deferred or otherwise, they will be nursed in strict isolation to reduce the possibilities of transmission to healthcare staff are other patient’s.

At the Shifa hospital, we offer single patient rooms to further reduce the risk of MRSA transmission.
This commitment to the highest quality standard has successfully kept the rate of MRSA infections at very low levels.
Other factors that contribute to our high-quality record include
High nurse to pt ratios; increasing the time available for individual attention and ensuring the highest quality of care and hygiene.
On-site cleaning staff who work to high specifications of hygiene and cleanliness, available 24 hours every day to respond to any need that may arise.
A rapid and comprehensive room cleaning regime between the discharge of one patient and admission to the next.
