POSTPONED

"Clean hands to Clean Hospitals"

Professor Didier Pittet, MD, MS, CBE
Professor of medicine (hon), Faculty of Medicine, University of Geneva 
Chair, Clean Hospitals
Former director, Infection Control Program, University of Geneva Hospitals and Faculty of Medicine, Geneva, Switzerland

Prof. Pittet will be speaking about infection prevention strategies. Prof. Pittet will be presenting his work in revolutionizing hand hygiene and patient safety over the last 30 years. His work in Geneva and with the WHO revolutionized how healthcare facilities and governments think about healthcare-associated infections, and saved millions of lives around the world.

Dre Alexandra Peters, PhD
Scientific Lead for Clean Hospitals,
Institute of Global Health, University of Geneva

Alexandra Peters will be speaking about her work with Prof. Pittet in building the Clean Hospitals Association, essentially working to accomplish what was done in hand hygiene in the healthcare environment. Although badly managed healthcare environmental hygiene is the source of a high percentage of healthcare-associated infections, it is still grossly underfunded and understudied. Clean Hospitals is working to not only increase the body of scientific knowledge and address gaps in the field, but to raise collaboration and awareness of environmental hygiene on a global level.
