6th Edition Infection Control, Sterilization & Decontamination in Healthcare Virtual Conference- Middle East [Time Zone-Saudi Arabia Standard Time (SAST))]

The pandemic has disrupted healthcare systems frameworks around the world, with hospitals be-ing overwhelmed due to the increasing influx of patients. The spread of COVID-19 has prodded a surge in demand for cleaning and disinfection products due to the growing awareness about hy-giene, health, and safety.

The utilization of reprocessed equipment to disinfect or sterilize medical devices is higher than normal now since improper decontamination of surgical instruments, endoscopic devices, respira-tory care devices, and reusable hemodialysis machines can increase the chances of healthcare as-sociated infections. Patient-to-patient pathogen transmission via medical devices can be entirely prevented by properly sterilising medical devices

MarketsandMarkets is proud to host 6th Edition Infection Control, Sterilization & Decontamina-tion in Healthcare Virtual Conference (Middle East) scheduled for 5 - 6 October 2021.

This congress aims at providing a platform to all the stakeholders, to discuss the challenges in main-taining the infection free environment in the hospitals and effective ways to reduce the chances of healthcare associated infections through contaminated medical devices.
