Module 1 - Basic knowledge of surface hygiene

Surfaces in healthcare facilities are often contaminated with potentially pathogenic germs. There is a risk of colonization and infection for our patients through the transmission of these pathogens.

High-touch surfaces are important to recognize as well as the difference between route and targeted disinfection.
