Infection prevention can save thousands
Every year, many lives are lost because of the spread of infection in healthcare set-ups. Hospitals and health service providers find it particularly challenging to manage infection control, as they serve patients or clients who may be infected with highly resistant strains.
The goals and objectives of infection prevention (IP) are to keep the client and the environment safe through a series of procedures that decreases the chance of infection. Healthcare workers can take simple steps to prevent the spread of infectious diseases including actions such as covering the face when coughing or sneezing, using gloves, masks and protective clothing, making tissues and hand wipes available, staying up to date with immunisation and strictly following infection prevention guidelines when dealing with blood or contaminated items.
In recognition of its contribution to infection prevention, Marie Stopes Society, (MSS) Pakistan won the ‘Excellence Award in Infection Prevention 2008’ at a ceremony held on Monday, January 19, 2009. Dr Kate Worsley, Head of the Medical Development Team (MDT) of Marie Stopes International (MSI), United Kingdom conferred the award on Mr Siddiq Kiyani, Operations Director, MSS.
Dr Worsley said the award was granted after a rigorous assessment process that involved peer reviews of infection prevention standards using the MDT Quality Technical Assistance (QTA) checklist and after a technical audit conducted by Jill Michelson, Operations Director and Jeanene Aldridge, Centre In charge experts from Australia.
“The IP award has been achieved due to the strict vigilance of the MSS team, high standards of service quality and its strict adherence to Infection Prevention protocols as set by MSI,” she added.
Dr Mohsina Bilgrami, Managing Director, MSS addressed the gathering and said, “The Marie Stopes Society is a social enterprise providing reproductive health services with a development perspective. Beginning with one centre in 1992, today MSS has expanded to more than 75 information and service delivery centres across the four provinces of Pakistan. Through these services, MSS has helped help alleviate the root cause of many socio-economic problems in Pakistan besides supporting the cause of having children by choice and not by chance”.

Irrespective of receiving daily oral or future injectable depot therapies, these require health care visits for medication and monitoring of safety and response. If patients are treated early enough, before a lot of immune system damage has occurred, life expectancy is close to normal, as long as they remain on successful treatment. However, when patients stop therapy, virus rebounds to high levels in most patients, sometimes associated with severe illness because i have gone through this and even an increased risk of death. The aim of “cure”is ongoing but i still do believe my government made millions of ARV drugs instead of finding a cure. for ongoing therapy and monitoring. ARV alone cannot cure HIV as among the cells that are infected are very long-living CD4 memory cells and possibly other cells that act as long-term reservoirs. HIV can hide in these cells without being detected by the body’s immune system. Therefore even when ART completely blocks subsequent rounds of infection of cells, reservoirs that have been infected before therapy initiation persist and from these reservoirs HIV rebounds if therapy is stopped. “Cure” could either mean an eradication cure, which means to completely rid the body of reservoir virus or a functional HIV cure, where HIV may remain in reservoir cells but rebound to high levels is prevented after therapy interruption.Dr Itua Herbal Medicine makes me believes there is a hope for people suffering from,Parkinson's disease,Schizophrenia,Cancer,Scoliosis,Fibromyalgia,Fluoroquinolone Toxicity
