In this episode, Martin Kiernan talks to Dr Giorgia Gon, Assistant Professor of Epidemiology, L ondon School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine about a briefing paper that identifies research priorities for healthcare cleaning in resource-limited settings. We discuss the process of determining the priorities, the groups involved and the final areas that should be targeted with research funding, including cost-effectiveness, the use of biocides or detergents and minimum requirements.
