In 2017, WHO issued a practical guide for prevention and control of HAIs. The guideline ranges from standard precautions such as hand hygiene, staying up-to-date with immunizations, covering while coughing and sneezing, using protective clothing such as gloves and masks and always keeping tissues and hand cleaners handy. WHO started 'Save Lives: Clean your hands' initiative aimed at spreading awareness regarding maintenance of hand hygiene globally.

According to WHO, out of every 100 individuals hospitalized globally at any given time, 10 in developing countries and 7 in developed countries are likely to acquire HAIs. Moreover, as per Administration on Aging, 48.3 million individuals in US are aged 65 years and above in 2018 and this population is expected to double in size by 2060. The elderly population is more prone to acquiring infections due to decrease in the immunity of an individual. Three out of four individuals aged above 65 are suffering from multiple chronic diseases.
