Abstract

The term “infection control” refers to the policies and practices used in hospitals and other healthcare facilities to limit the spread of illnesses with the primary goal of lowering infection rates. The objective is to reduce the chance of infection in patients and Healthcare workers (HCWs). This may be achieved by making all the HCWs to follow and practice the infection prevention and control (IPC) guidelines and by providing safe and quality healthcare. Because of more exposure to TB patients and insufficient TB infection prevention and control (TBIPC) procedures in a healthcare facility, healthcare workers (HCWs) working in TB centers are at an elevated risk of contracting TB. Although there are a number of TBIPC guidelines, there is limited knowledge of their contents, if they are applicable in the given situation, and whether they are being properly applied in TB centers. The purpose of this study was to observe the TBIPC guidelines' implementation in CES (Centre of equity studies) recovery shelters well as the elements that affect it. The percentage of public health care personnel who used proper TBIPC practices was low. The execution of TBIPC guidelines in tuberculosis (TB) centers was poor. It was impacted because TB treatment institutions and centers have unique health systems and TB disease burdens.
