Question 17302 — health establishments

Summary

Mr. Bernard Brochand draws the attention of the Minister of Solidarity and Health to nosocomial infections which infect, each year, one in twenty patients in French hospitals according to the 2019 report of the Court of Auditors. Healthcare-related infections affect 470,000 people and cause 4,000 deaths each year in France. The four most common infections are urinary infections, those linked to operations surgical infections (known as surgical site infections), pneumonia and bacteremia. Wise people denounce gaps in surveillance and hygiene measures. However, many infections contracted in hospitals or clinics could be avoided by respecting simple hygiene measures such as the use of hydroalcoholic solution when entering and leaving the patient's room. This situation has consequences “ sometimes very serious” on the health of patients and financial effects for public accounts, estimated at several million euros. Also, he wishes to know the measures that the Government intends to take to put an end to or at least limit this health scourge while respecting public funds.
