. Preventive maintenance is of great importance for the prophylaxis of healthcare-associated infection (HAI). Material and methods. An assessment of the interventional cleaning program of the epidemiologically significant units of a large medical organization was based on the data of marks erasure control, microbiological studies, a survey of employees of the insourcing department. Results. In 2017, the Center began implementing an intervention program for outsourcing, which began with the creation of the Department of sanitary services (DSS), which took over the functions of cleaning the premises, as well as providing departments with the necessary disinfectants, detergents, and cleaning products. Before the implementation of this intervention program, the staff was trained in the form of theoretical classes (lectures with the display of training videos, presentations). Practical skills were developed directly in the workplace. The interventional insourcing program showed a 1.28-fold decrease in microbial contamination of surfaces in high-epidemiological risk departments. As a result, the consumption of disinfectant was reduced by more than 5 times. The satisfaction of the sanitary service Department operators with the introduction of the new method was more than 90%. Conclusion. The implemented intervention program allowed not only to improve the quality of cleaning, but also to change the attitude of patients, medical personnel, and the administration to the institution of cleaning by the forces of the medical organization itself.
