Worrying Statistics
Antibiotic resistance, pandemics, and contamination of surfaces and ambients
According to the WHO, around 10% of all patients admitted to a health facility contract a Hospital-Acquired Infection. This represents annually, USA-wide only, more than 2.000.000 people, out of which 100.000 die as a direct cause, generating estimated health costs of more than 45 Billion dollars 1, 2
Scientific literature suggests that at least 50% of the infection problem within hospitals is due to the presence of high levels of bacterial burden on medical devices and surfaces within these facilities 3
