The course "What Causes an INFECTION?" provides a detailed understanding of how infections occur and spread. It covers the types of microorganisms, such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites, that lead to infections and their modes of transmission. Participants will learn about risk factors that contribute to infections, including poor hygiene practices, environmental contamination, and weakened immune systems. The course emphasizes the importance of infection prevention strategies, such as proper hand hygiene, sterilization techniques, and the correct use of personal protective equipment (PPE). It also addresses the role of healthcare professionals in controlling infections within medical facilities. Case studies and real-world examples will be used to illustrate key concepts. By the end of the course, participants will have a deeper understanding of infection mechanisms and effective prevention measures to ensure safety in both personal and professional environments.
