Article Synopsis
- Frontline healthcare workers (HCWs) in low-income hospital settings are at high risk for contracting SARS-CoV-2 due to occupational exposure, with a significant portion of them being nurses and female.
- A study conducted in Bangladesh from July 2021 to July 2023 involving 3,436 HCWs found a prevalence rate of 26% for lab-confirmed COVID-19 infections, with nurses being most affected and physicians facing a higher infection risk compared to support staff.
- The findings highlight the need for targeted infection control measures, such as improving workplace safety and training, to protect HCWs and reduce the risk of transmission in healthcare settings.
