Role of Hospital Management on Minimization Risks of Nosocomial Infections

Despite the developments on human health and hospital management sciences, many health risks in hospitals should be well-thought-out; especially Nosocomial Infection (NI) (which is acquired by patients during hospitalization period). NIs add huge financial burden for patients, healthcare facilities,...
