Metropolitan Hospital Information

Since 2013, Metropolitan Hospital has been successfully implementing the Protocol for Point Registration of Infections of the European Center for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) every year. The implementation of the Protocol has helped in collecting quality data on the incidence and type of infections in our patients, allowing the design of targeted actions to reduce the risks involved and provide the most optimal treatment. Building on the experience gained by our staff during these three years, Metropolitan Hospital participates in the Pan-European study organized by the ECDC for 2016-17, in an effort to contribute to the success of the study with high-fidelity data and to draw useful conclusions about the frequency of infections in Greek and European healthcare provider settings.
