Infection Control, Sterilization & Decontamination Conference

21st - 22nd March 2024

Millennium Gloucester Hotel, 4-18 Harrington Gardens, London SW7 4LH

Infection Intelligence: Unmasking Strategies for a Safe, Sterile Environment

MarketsandMarkets is pleased to announce its 8th Annual Infection Control, Sterilisation, and Decontamination in Healthcare Conference, which will take place March 21–22, 2024, in London, UK. With the increased risk of infection due to improper sterilisation and decontamination practices, the safety of patients and healthcare workers is of paramount importance nowadays. This conference aims to bring together all the stakeholders to discuss the obstacles in achieving and maintaining an infection-free environment in the hospital and outpatient settings, as well as effective and research-based ways to reduce the risks of the outbreak of healthcare-associated infections through microbes and medical equipment because of subpar infection prevention and control methods and contaminated medical devices.
With this, it also gives experts a platform to share their views on comparing newly developed automated cleaning procedures with manual cleaning practices through interactive panel discussion sessions.
