Interview with Rami Sommerstein

Prof. Rami Sommerstein, Professor of Infectious Diseases and Public Health Epidemiology, Faculty of Medicine, University of Bern, heads the 'SSI Intervention' module at Swissnoso.

Swissnoso launched this module in 2015. The most important goal of this intervention is to achieve adherence of at least 90% with three elementary infection prevention measures: hair removal, preoperative skin disinfection and antibiotic prophylaxis. Strict adherence to the existing measures should reduce the wound infection rate by at least 10% within two years.
