December 12, 2005 (Press Release) --
The last 25 years have brought new diseases to the world, including HIV Aids, SARS and, the latest, avian flu. Globalisation of trade and travel has increased the spread of new diseases. In addition to this, about 10% of patients in European hospitals at any one time will be suffering from a Healthcare Associated Infection (HAI) or MRSA. These infections cause significant morbidity and mortality and there are of course considerable socio-economic implications too.
IN CONTROL!, which will take place in the Andel’s Hotel in Prague on 20th-21st March 2006, is the first ever conference dedicated to the issue of global infection prevention and the critical role of nonwovens in providing effective protection solutions for patients and hospital staff alike.
The Conference programme includes 16 papers from authoritative healthcare professionals and top-level industry speakers, including the WHO (World Health Organisation), EORNA (European Operating Room Nurses Association), Eucomed (European Medical Technology Association), companies manufacturing single-use nonwoven medical devices and suppliers of nonwoven roll goods.
