A Patient’s View Of Infection-Control In The Context Of Covid-19 In Hemodialysis Centers

Abstract

With healthcare workers practicing frequent hand-washing in hospitals and Dialysis centers, the number of related infections and deaths in the USA have been reduced during the last decade. Despite many other precautions, CDC estimates that annual number of hospital-acquired infections and deaths are still staggering. There is no good data regarding infections originating from Dialysis centers. There are several aspects of hygiene that still miss our attention. It is the aim of this communication to point out some deficiencies in hygiene in the context of Dialysis and COVID-19.
