Popis: Public health encompasses a wide range of opportunities, including the possibility to influence and manage infectious agents, to influence the infectious process, and to implement anti-epidemic measures at the local and/or general structural levels. With particular emphasis are the activities related to the protection of maternal and child health at the maternity home level, as well as the care related to them until their discharge. In the conditions of a global pandemic, a number of events related to the protection of personal health, as well as activities at the level of medical institutions for strict disinfection and behavior protocols, were imposed. The volume of invasive treatment and diagnostic manipulations has increased, as has the diversity of patients and pathologies in the process of hospitalization and subsequent specific medical care. The subject of the study is the maternity ward at SHOGAT "Prof. Dr. D. Stamatov," Varna.The aim of the study is to define the prevention of infections associated with medical care in the context of an increased epidemiological risk. Results: In the period 2020–2021, 6,599 patients passed through the maternity ward at SHOGAT Varna, accounting for 54.76% of all patients at the hospital. In the years analyzed, there were no registered hospital infections (RHI) or infections related to medical care (IRMC), as well as incidents when dealing with sharp objects. A total of 18,201 microbiological studies were conducted on patients and the working environment in the hospital. All positive results for improved IRMC/RHI registration were operationally discussed at clinical-epidemiological and laboratory meetings. Infections related to medical care (IRMC) play a leading role in the organization of activities in the maternity ward and related structures (maternity and operating rooms, intensive care units, postpartum sectors, etc.), as well as with the accompanying human factor problems and in conducting hygiene and disinfection events.
