Description
Valeria Fabre and a large team of co-authors evaluate hospital infection control programs across Latin America in a 2024 study. Such programs stop drug resistant germs from spreading, yet their state in the region was largely unknown. The team assessed hospitals in Guatemala, Panama, Ecuador, and Argentina during 2022 using a World Health Organization framework survey.
The survey scores eight core parts of infection control, from program structure and guidelines to training, surveillance of hospital infections, and audit practices. Interviews and site data added context on why implementation stalls. The mixed methods design pairs scores with the stories behind them. The authors aim to show decision makers where the contextual barriers sit, so programs can be strengthened realistically.
