| Core Tip |
This minireview demonstrates that hospital-acquired infections are a substantial, yet largely unmeasured, threat in Mogadishu’s resource-constrained hospitals, where hand hygiene, waste segregation, isolation capacity, and staff training remain critically weak. By explicitly linking these infection prevention and control (IPC) gaps to escalating antimicrobial resistance and high preventable mortality, the paper argues for urgent national IPC standards, hospital-level IPC committees, routine surveillance, and integrated antimicrobial stewardship as cost-effective levers to protect patients, staff, and the wider community. |
