Welcome to ADVIN Association to Defend Victims of Nosocomial Infections

Have you ever been admitted to the hospital for surgery or illness? Have you ever caught an infection unrelated to your surgery or illness? If so, you have been the victim of a nosocomial infection also known as hospital-acquired infections.

C. difficile, MRSA (methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureus), are well known, but there are many others.

Do you know that you have more chances to die from a nosocomial infection than from a car accident?

Every year in Quebec, 90 000 people are afflicted by these infections and, of that number, 4000 die immediately.
A minimum of 50% of these infections could be avoided by better prevention and control measures such as strict hand hygiene.

Nosocomial infections are also very costly to the health system. On average they cost 180 millions dollars yearly.
By joining ADVIN you contribute to the promotion of safe care and quality hospitals.
