• In 2023 -2024 vond het vierde Europese prevalentieonderzoek (HALT4) naar zorginfecties en antimicrobielemiddelengebruik in 18 Europese landen plaats. De resultaten zijn recent gepubliceerd en het volledige rapport is te onder de hieronder staande bulletpoint. 
  Omdat het HALT4-rapport erg uitgebreid is, hebben we voor u  een samenvatting gemaakt waarin de belangrijkste onderwerpen en resultaten worden toegelicht.
