Infection Control Challenges In Developing Countries

Abstract

Infection control in developing countries presents significant challenges due to limited resources, inadequate infrastructure, and socio-economic disparities. This paper examines the key challenges faced in implementing effective infection control measures in these regions. Factors such as poor access to healthcare services, high burden of communicable diseases, antimicrobial resistance, and inadequate infection control practices contribute to the spread of infections and healthcare-associated diseases. Addressing these challenges requires a comprehensive approach involving improved healthcare infrastructure, access to essential services, promotion of hygiene practices, and strengthening of surveillance and outbreak response systems.
