SEA-URCHIN: South East Asia - Using Research for Change in Hospital-acquired Infection in Neonates

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

Each year, more than one million babies die from infection before they reach one month of age. Proven and inexpensive practices to prevent and treat infection exist but they are not always followed (eg hand washing). This research will evaluate the impact of tailored implementation strategies on rates of infection and death in the neonatal units of nine hospitals in four counties in South East Asia. Staff from these units will work with Australian partners to devise, implement and evaluate different strategies.
