Health Care and Medical Infection Prevention
HAI’s (Hospital Acquired Infections) are an enormous problem worldwide in our healthcare systems. In the U.S. alone estimates range from 100,000 to half a million deaths per year as a result of HAI’s, many of them preventable. And hands are the most dangerous vector for the transmission of pathogens in any environment; hospitals are dangerous places and even more dangerous without a tool to insure high quality hand hygiene.
