Infection control teams are essential for several reasons. First, they help to reduce the incidence and prevalence of healthcare-associated infections (HAIs), which can lead to severe health complications and increased mortality. Second, they ensure that healthcare facilities adhere to infection control protocols and guidelines, thereby ensuring a safe environment for both patients and healthcare workers. Lastly, they are pivotal during outbreaks of infectious diseases, providing expert guidance and coordination for effective response and containment.
