The safety of both patients and healthcare workers has long been one of the most serious problem in healthcare worldwide. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), many patients suffer permanent damage to their health or death as a result of malpractice in the delivery of healthcare. The safe and quality delivery of health care is key to ensuring that errors and mistakes in patient care do not occur in the health sector. Lack of patient safety is a serious public health problem as well as a heavy burden on limited financial resources in the health sector. One of the most serious adverse events is the acquisition of a hospital-acquired infection during a patient's hospitalisation in a healthcare facility. Evidence of it points to malpractice by health care personnel in following the principles of barrier nursing care.
