Infection-safe design is core business for hospital engineering. IHEEM has highlighted a new HIS/BEIPI report calling for infection prevention to be built into hospital projects from day one to tackle antimicrobial resistance (AMR). For Australian healthcare engineers, the takeaway is clear: design and maintain with IPC in mind - not as a retrofit. Think drainage, ventilation, water hygiene, commissioning, and ongoing maintenance partnerships with IPC teams.
