Study Design: Cross sectional study. Place and Duration of Study: This study was conducted at the department of microbiology Army Medical College/National University of Medical Sciences in collaboration with Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) of Military Hospital Rawalpindi, Pakistan, from Sep 2016 to Sep 2017. Material and Methods: All neonates admitted in neonatal intensive care unit during study period were included in the study; study was conducted in three phase pre implementation stage, implementation of infection control measures phase and post intervention phase. Results: The frequency of blood pathogens in NICU decreased from 39.8% before intervention to 21.5% after intervention and there was complete eradication of few pathogens. Conclusion: Almost 18% decrease in health care associated infections (HAIs) was observed after very simple intervention in NICU.Hafsa WaseemAfnan NaeemMehreen GilaniSakhawat AliJavaid UsmanAmna JavedArmy Medical College Rawalpindiarticlebsi (blood stream infections)hais (health care associated infections)nicu (neonatal intensive care unit)MedicineRMedicine (General)R5-920ENPakistan Armed Forces Medical Journal, Vol 69, Iss 4, Pp 882-886 (2019)
