title: [Role of the State Sanitary Inspection in supervision over nosocomial infections].
abstract: Suitably conducted monitoring of nosocomial infections in Polish health care centers would be a proof of the quality of medical services for the Polish society. However, because of some organizational and financial negligence from previous years, the Ministry of Health services are implementing practical and scientific rules of the nosocomial infections monitoring, through the implementation of systemic solutions, recommendations and suitable procedures. The State Sanitary Inspection has prepared a modern amendment of the act of communicable diseases and infections, which will help with proper enforcement of reliable reports and registers conducted by professional groups and existing committees for nosocomial infection control. We can expect that suitably conducted, hospital antibiotic policy, the use of medical science in the above-mentioned scope, reliable comparing analyses, as well as drug resistance monitoring will bring clearly defined effects, such as: reduction of expenditures on health care, as well as lessening of hospitalization duration.
