HAIs or infections occur between 48 hours to 72 hours after hospital admission or after hospital discharge within 30 days. The incidence of infections continues to increase between 4.8%-21%. The increasing incidence of infection indicates a decrease in the quality of hospital services. The chain of infection transmission can occur through infectious agents, reservoirs, ports of exit, transmission, ports of entry, and the host.
