June 8, 2025 \u2013 Experts at a specialized Iran Health Exhibition session\nhighlighted that hospitals must place ten times more emphasis on infection\ncontrol equipment compared to diagnostic devices. They warned that while\ninfection control technologies can save thousands of lives, this critical area\nremains underprioritized because it does not generate direct revenue for\nhospitals.<\/span><\/p>

The session addressed standards for surgical, dental, and ophthalmic\ninstrument washers and disinfectors, automatic endoscope reprocessors, and\ninnovative systems for human waste disposal\u2014such as replacing single-use paper\ncontainers with stainless steel alternatives.<\/span><\/p>

Experts emphasized that infection control equipment is often overlooked\ndue to its cost and lack of profitability, leading hospitals to favor\nrevenue-generating diagnostic devices. This tendency increases the risk of\nhospital-acquired infections. Hospitals were urged to fundamentally shift their\napproach, making infection control a top priority to effectively curb and\nreduce infections.<\/span><\/p>

While some progress has been made, including awareness workshops and\ntraining courses, participants noted that achieving global standards requires\nsustained effort and time.<\/span><\/p>

The 26th Iran Health Exhibition, featuring 580 domestic and international\ncompanies, 11 exhibition halls, 45 specialized sessions, and an Exclusive\nPavilion for returning Iranian professionals, is being held at the Iran\nInternational Exhibition Center from June 8 to 11, 2025.<\/span><\/p>
