HHS Spending $17 Million to Fight HAI’s.
A new initiative was announced by HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, to fight costly and dangerous health care-associated infections (HAI’s).
According to the Oct. 23/PRNewswire-USNewswire article, nearly 2 million patients develop HAI’s, which contribute to 99,000 deaths each year and $28-$33 billion in health care costs.
Hospital water systems are a source of many infections. Water purification will reduce or eliminate these waterborne infections. Nephros Dual Stage Ultrafilters can be easily installed (and replaced); thus allowing healthcare facilities to eliminate bacteria, viral agents, cysts, fungi and biological endotoxins at the point of use.
