AB  - In low-income and middle-income countries (LMIC) health care-associated 
      infections (HAIs) are a serious concern. Many factors contribute to the impact in 
      LMIC, including lack of infrastructure, inconsistent surveillance, deficiency in 
      trained personnel and infection control programs, and poverty- related factors. 
      In LMIC the risk of HAIs may be up to 25% of hospitalized patients. Building 
      infection control capacity in LMIC is possible where strategies are tailored to 
      the specific needs of LMIC. Strategies must start with simple, cost-effective 
      measures then expand to include more complicated measures. Goals for short-term, 
      medium-term, and long-term actions should be planned and resources prioritized.
