Infection Control

Hospital-Acquired Infections, remain an important cause of illness in hospitals. The bacteria and viruses that cause most of these infections are spread from patient to patient often through hand contact by health care providers and/or visitors.

Hand Hygiene in the healthcare setting is a critical component of patient safety and SAVES LIVES !

When entering a East Wimmera Health Service you will notice pink bottles at each of the entrances, these bottles are also located at throughout the campus. These pink bottles contain an antiseptic hand rub design to reduce the number of bateria and viruses on your hand. So please before entering the hospital please use the hand rub and reduce the number of bacteria and viruses being brought to our patients and your family and friends.
