The recent outbreaks of Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) among infants in Hong Kong hospitals have raised concerns among healthcare professionals and parents alike. These outbreaks highlight the need for heightened vigilance and effective infection control measures in healthcare facilities. To combat the spread of MRSA, hospitals are implementing rigorous infection control measures, including enhanced screening, cleaning and disinfection, contact transmission prevention protocols, and risk assessment. The role of smart robotics like Whiz Gambit, premium hospital-grade disinfectants like Nanocyn, and indoor environmental hygiene assessment is also emphasized in reducing MRSA transmission, particularly in high-risk populations.
