Postpartum care homes provide services to mothers and infants in the first 2 months after birth. During this time, antibodies from the mother gradually diminish in infants, whose immunity is insufficiently mature, placing them at high risk of contracting diseases and developing serious complications. Therefore, adhering to and implementing strict infection control measures is crucial. For service recipients of health management in postpartum homes, infectious disease monitoring, isolation precautions, rules for managing family members and visitors, disease control regulations, meal preparation and feeding hygiene, access to cleaning and disinfection equipment, and regular cleaning and disinfection of water supplies are all critical measures for improving service quality and creating a high-quality and safe care environment. Institutional managers and staff must understand basic infection prevention and control strategies and carefully implement them to avoid infections and cluster incidents in postpartum homes. They must also cooperate with health authorities for institution accreditation, infection control inspection, and supervision to strengthen infection control measures and create comprehensive epidemic prevention strategies.
