The healthcare agency organises the fight against nosocomial infections, including the prevention of bacterial resistance to antibiotics. To this end, it sets up a nosocomial infection control committee and defines an annual programme of actions designed to ensure :
1° Preventing nosocomial infections, in particular by drawing up and implementing recommendations for good hygiene practice;
2° Monitoring nosocomial infections;
3° Defining information and training initiatives for all the Agency’s professionals in the field of hospital hygiene and the fight against nosocomial infections;
4° Periodic evaluation of actions to combat nosocomial infections, the results of which are used to draw up subsequent action programmes.
