Members of the Infection Control Committee (ECC) meet at least 4 times a year. At these meetings, the situation in preventing the development of hospital infections in our hospital is assessed, suggestions for solutions to problems are developed, they are shared with the hospital administration and feedback to relevant clinics is prepared, and the clinics are informed.
