implemented to prevent HAIs in a grand move that is meant to reduce the costs. Human and

other resources are required for treatment purposes.

At the same time, HHC ratings when it comes to the health sectors that include the

emergency departments (EDs) have continued deteriorating based on the fact that most of the

HCWs tend to find themselves being one of the reasons as to why compliance with the required
