Abstract

It has been estimated that in developed countries up to 10% of hospitalized patients develop infections every year. Not only is there a substantial cost to healthcare systems, but some healthcare associated infections (HCAIs) can be fatal. Since the majority of HCAIs are preventable, reducing HCIAs is now considered to be an integral part of patient safety and quality of care provided by all healthcare institutions worldwide. Unlike other books on infection control, the main strength of this book is to provide clear, up-to-date and practical guidance in infection control in an easy to read format which can act as a quick source of reference on all aspects of HCAIs for healthcare workers who are either directly or indirectly involved in prevention and control of HCAIs.

Abstract

In de jaren 1970 trok Peter Piot naar Centraal-Afrika om er baanbrekend onderzoek rond het ebolavirus te verrichten. Jaren later stond hij opnieuw in de vuurlijn toen een nieuw mysterieus virus uitbrak: aids.Piot reisde heel Afrika af en zette initiatieven op om de epidemie in te dijken. Als oprichter en directeur van UNAIDS onderhandelde hij met politieke leiders als Fidel Castro en Thabo Mbeki om aids wereldwijd een halt toe te roepen.Geen tijd te verliezen is het openhartige en meeslepende relaas van een gedreven arts en wetenschapper, van zijn pioniersjaren in de ziekenhuizen van zwart Afrika, tot de internationale lobby van de hoogste regionen van de WHO en de VN.
