Hospital-acquired infections (HAIs) pose a global challenge to modern medicine, directly impacting the safety of both patients and medical personnel. Every year, this issue becomes increasingly urgent, as the health of every patient remains the highest priority.

🛡 What is the "Clean Hospital – Safe for Patients" project? This is a nationwide initiative launched in 2008 by the Association "Service for Infection Control Organization" (SICO). Its primary mission is to protect the health of both patients and medical professionals in healthcare institutions. SICO actively works on spreading knowledge about HAIs, implementing modern hygiene standards, and organizing measures to enhance the safety of medical facilities.

🏆 Achievements of the Filatov Institute. Recently, departments of SI "The Filatov Institute of Eye Diseases and Tissue Therapy of the National Academy of Medical Sciences of Ukraine" successfully passed a rigorous hygiene audit conducted by SICO specialists and were awarded the prestigious "Clean Hospital – Safe for Patients" status. This honorable recognition was granted to:

• Department of Ophthalmooncology
• Surgical Department

📝 What does this status mean? Receiving this status is not merely a formality—it is a testament to high standards of cleanliness, safety, and quality of medical services. Each department that achieves this recognition places a special plaque at its entrance, symbolizing 100% cleanliness and safety for every patient.
