INFECTIONS

ALL ARE TRYING HARD TO CONTROL INFECTIONS
•Companies, government agencies, non-profits and academics are rushing to create newer, faster and more innovative tools that can better detect, prevent and slow down potentially harmful disease outbreaks, . and around the globe. Preventing the spread and transmission of infectious disease — within a healthcare setting as well as for use by the general public — is no easy task, especially when they are intended to be commercialized and distributed globally, where hospital budgets and bandwidth vary drastically.
