Chosun University Hospital Accelerates Efforts to Create a Hospital Safe from Infections

2023 Infection Control Event Held

Promoting the Importance of Management to Patients and Caregivers

Chosun University Hospital (Director Kim Kyung-jong) announced on the 4th that it recently held the '2023 Infection Control Event' in the central lobby on the 1st floor of Building 2 of the main building.

This event was conducted with the purpose of actively promoting the importance of infection control not only to faculty and staff but also to patients and their guardians visiting the hospital, and to create a hospital safe from infections.

The event featured corners to revisit easily overlooked infection prevention rules by conducting proper ▲hand hygiene experience ▲isolation precaution guideline experience ▲needle stick injury prevention promotion, and also included a gift-giving event (soap) for participants, which received great response.

In the hand hygiene experience, the correct method of handwashing was explained, and after using hand sanitizer, participants checked the condition of their hands directly through a scanner as part of hand hygiene education.

In the isolation precaution guideline experience, participants placed stickers on prepared character boards to complete them according to diseases, engaging in a doll play activity that helped them learn the proper use of protective equipment by medical staff and preparation of infectious materials for patients under isolation by disease type.

Seo Jun-won, head of the Infection Control Office, said, “Through this infection control event, faculty, staff, patients, and guardians all became more alert and had an opportunity to reconsider infection control,” adding, “We will do our best to create a hospital safe from infections.”
