Mission

To Provide effective solutions to reduce preventable complications associated with healthcare acquired infections, thereby improving the quality of care, aligning with global action plans on antimicrobial resistance and saving lives. SterileCare has a proprietary disinfectant solution that will significantly reduce the incidence of hospital acquired infections which are becoming increasingly more complicated to prevent and treat.
