The health ministry has developed a methodology to measure, validate and publish the spread of nosocomial infections and published recommendations on the matter, the health minister said at a commemoration marking Semmelweis Day on Tuesday.
Zsolt Hegedűs said the ministry would start publishing figures in early autumn, “informing the public and decision-makers clearly and in a comparable way.”
“What is left unmeasured cannot be improved and silencing will not lead to development, but honest revelation could bring learning, security, and better patient care,” the minister said.
