Urinary catheters are among the most frequent causes of healthcare-associated infections (HAIs). In 2015, Patient Safety Switzerland and Swissnoso launched the third national pilot programme “progress! Urinary catheter safety”, which is supported by the FOPH’s Quality Strategy. It concluded in 2018 – with positive results.
