Healthcare-associated infections workshop at European Health Forum Gastein

​Healthcare-associated infections represent an urgent public health issue and a threat to the safety of European patients. Controlling and preventing these infections is therefore a responsibility for any healthcare system and any institution providing healthcare to European patients. 

To describe this situation and to illustrate progress that has been made in the area, this workshop featured the participation of a number of experts who discussed the issue from their perspectives as a government official at the EU-level, a hospital manager, a patient and a healthcare inspector. In addition, ECDC informed the discussion with the latest data available from across the EU countries.
