Role of Hospital Pharmacist in Infection Prevention and Control

According to the General Health-System pharmacists have an obligation to take part in the infection control initiatives of Hospital. This duty results, in part, from pharmacist' comprehension of and control over the use of antibiotics within the healthcare system. Additionally, the National Health Mission thinks that participation on multidisciplinary work groups and committees within the health system is the best way for pharmacist to effectively participate in infection control programmes and support the appropriate use of antibiotics throughout the health system. These initiatives should reduce the likelihood of antimicrobials being misused, lowering the danger of infection for other patients and staff members while also improving the treatment outcomes for patients with infectious disorders.
