A descriptive and cross-sectional study was carried out in 9 hospital centers in Santiago de Cuba city in order to determine the prevalence of infections associated with healthcare. Epidemiologists, residents of Hygiene and Epidemiology and surveillance nurses in hospitals conducted interviews and reviews of medical records from all patients admitted. In the statistical analysis frequency distributions were used and rates, percentages and ratios as summary measures as well. The prevalence of these infections was 5.7%. Surgical wound, lower respiratory airway, skin and urinary tract prevailed as the most frequent locations. Among the most important risk factors were surgical wound, venipuncture and vein dissection. Although 50% of infected patients were not registered, Klebsiella and Staphylococcus were found as the most frequent germs.
