For Healthcare Associated Infections to be reduced, the design and choice of finishes in healthcare facilities should be based on a well-informed decision taken between the designers, builders and infection control teams.
One important design decision will be about the hygienic wall coatings, which should be chosen in conjunction with risk levels of contamination in the different healthcare departments.
Developments made in products used for interior wall finishes mean that hospitals can successfully reduce the prevalence of infections by specifying hygienic surfaces, employing specialist coatings or sheeting for walls and ceilings.
