Description
Carmen Ioniță argues that preventing hospital-acquired infections is an ethical duty, not just a technical one, in a 2026 article. Infections caught during care harm patients and erode trust in medicine. Beyond germs and statistics, prevention implicates the conscience of every staff member.
The article grounds prevention in classic bioethical principles: do good, do no harm, and own one's professional responsibility. It walks through the duties of healthcare personnel and the dilemmas that arise, such as when reporting an infection may embarrass a colleague or an institution. Weaving ethics into daily practice, the author argues, lifts care quality and strengthens patient trust.
