Abstract

This article contains reflections concerning infection prevention and control measures starting from the adherence of health professionals to prevention measures. It points out worrisome environment-related aspects stemming from the use of disposable materials in spite of the benefits that they represent in terms of safety and reduction of operational costs, among others. All these issues are presented as a challenge to infection control teaching in the education of health professionals. Some guiding presuppositions are also presented.
