I would appreciate any help in translating the acronym TsSO, which appears in the following sentence from an article about Russia's hepatitis problem:

Vazhno rasshirit' set' TsSO (sevogdnya oni yest' v lish' 59% meditsinskikh uchrezhdeniy), povysit' kachestvo ikh raboty, rasshirit' informatsiyu naseleniya o putyakh zarazheniya, iskhodakh i profilaktike parenteralnykh virusnykh gepatitov.

Central Sterilization Department
Explanation:
TsSO is a sterilization department in a hospital where all medical tools are being sterilized. Usually this is a big room with several sterilization machines (autoclaves) and really not all hospitals in the former USSR have them. That is why a lot of contagious diseases people get at hospitals when non-sterilized tools are applied.
