Babies in the neonatal unit at Forth Valley Royal Hospital are benefitting from new infection control procedures which have gained international recognition. The new measures have resulted in no hospital-related blood borne infections (Staph Auerus bacteria or SABs for short) for almost three years – this compares to a previous figure of one case every 39 days in 2009/10. The Scottish Government target is 1 in 300 days – Forth Valley Royal Hospital’s neonatal unit has not had a single case of SABs infection for more than 1065 days.
