摘要：This prevalence of hospital acquired infections (HAI), commonly called as nosocomial infection in medicalterms still exists in major well developed hospitals in many countries. The aim is to check for the level of hospitalacquired infection and their level, steps taken to control and effective management of the same. Using standardprotocol 100 staffs and 50 patients were taken for the study. Only intensive care units (ICU) patients were taken forstudy since the rate of infection is very high among these patients. Questionnaires were distributed to collect data andthorough observation was done throughout the hospital on what steps and procedures they are following for theprevention of hospital acquired infection. Study revealed that even though they strictly stick to the Standard OperatingProcedures (SOPs), the level of hospital acquired infection sometimes exceeds the benchmark.
