5th Annual Infection Control, Sterilization & Decontamination Conference: Two Day Online Conference - March 25th-26th, 2021 - ResearchAndMarkets.com

The "5th Annual Infection Control, Sterilization & Decontamination Virtual Conference (GMT)" conference has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

Based on the survey on 1,000 hospitals in 33 countries, European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) estimates that that on any given day, one in 18 patients in a European hospital has a healthcare-associated infection (HAIs). Most of the countries (26 out of 33) reported the major three types of HAIs: pneumonia and lower respiratory tract infection, surgical site infection, and urinary tract infection.

The estimated number of patients in the UK acquiring HAIs is approx. 300,000 a year, according to a report by National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE). It costs the NHS approximately 1 billion a year, and 56 million of this is estimated to be incurred after patients are discharged from the hospital. NHS has now adopted a no-tolerance policy towards the spread of HAIs.

The 5th Annual Infection Control, Sterilization, and Decontamination in Healthcare Virtual Conference, scheduled for 25th & 26th March 2021, aiming at providing platform to experts from hospitals, academia, and government institutions discussing the innovations, challenges, and future aspects of infection control, decontamination, and sterilization.
