¿Cómo mejorar la bioseguridad en hospitales y servicios de salud?

Bioseguridad en un sentido amplio es definida como: vida libre de peligros. Medidas de bioseguridad son acciones que contribuyen para la seguridad de la vida, en el dia a dia de las personas (ej. Cinturon de seguridad, senda peatonal). Las normas de bioseguridad engloban todas las medidas que buscan evitar riesgos fisicos (radiacion o temperatura), ergonomicos (posturales), quimicos (sustancias toxicas), biologicos (agentes infecciosos) y psicologicos (como el estres). Cada tanto, cuando hay conflictos gremiales, aparecen en las noticias hospitales que tienen ratas o cucarachas, y recien ahi se toman algunas medidas correctivas, per0 la mayoria de las instalaciones de servicios de salud no cuentan con servicios de control de plagas, o si 10s tienen no son efectivos, mas por causas administrativas que tecnicas. Es inadmisible la presencia de invertebrados y vertebrados (no humanos) en hospitales y centros de salud. Se proponen algunas medidas para mejorar la bioseguridad en esas instalaciones.
