About the course
Every year, insufficient cleaning and incorrect sanitation measures in the Danish healthcare industry impose billion-kroner costs due to hospitalisations, increased pressure on the healthcare system, medicine, etc. – not to mention the human costs of illness attributed to individuals, families and communities.
