Therapeutic activity may be accompanied with unpleasant consequences like any other activity. Hospitals are the central providers of therapeutic services. These services are provided organized, continuously and reliably in the hospitals.

Hospital infection is naturally a multi-dimensional phenomenon. Humans are infected by it and suffer from it and human financial capital is spent for its treatment. Being contagious, it is probable that the infection be passed from one patient to another or to the staff in hospital (in therapy centers).It may take a social dimension. At last as a threatening factor, hospital infection requests the safety, smartness and organized cooperation of therapy and management specialists.
