Hospital Infection Control Laboratory: This section is involved with the surveillance of health care associated infections in the Institute. The number of health care associated infections including BSI (CLABSI), UTI (CAUTI), SSI, VAP, Hand hygiene compliance is recorded and infection rates determined. Environmental sampling is done to monitor effective decontamination and disinfecting procedures carried out in the hospital.

Central Sterile Supply Department (CSSD) autoclaves are monitored by Biological indicators to check for the functioning of the autoclaves. The sterility of the fluids or pre-sterile articles purchased is tested on the request of the Medical Supply Stores. Monitoring of antimicrobial resistance is done by keeping a record of the resistance pattern of the bacteria causing infections in our hospital. The change in the infection rates and outbreaks are identified and the concerned unit informed in time to take timely control measures. Surveillance of the staff to detect any carrier state in outbreaks is undertaken.

This section also involves with carrying out teaching activities and sensitization of all new health care staff to hospital infection activities.

  1. Water Bacteriology: This section tests the bacteriological quality of water in the Institute hospital and residential areas to monitor proper treatment of water being supplied to the Institute

  2. External quality assurance Scheme (EQAS)
