Theories surrounding infection prevention and control date back to the 1600s. Yet, according to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), US healthcare workers have only adhered to strict infection prevention standards and the routine use of personal protective equipment (PPE) since the early 1950s.

The emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 and the resultant severe shortages of PPE shone a spotlight on the critical need for healthcare facilities to stock ample supplies of PPE and disinfectants to appropriately protect healthcare workers as well as patients.

Fortunately, PPE shortages have abated and safety equipment is widely available for medical personnel to acquire and stockpile in their facilities in anticipation of any future public healthcare crises.Today, reliable access to high‑quality personal protective equipment (PPE) and disinfectants ensures teams are prepared not only for daily operations, but also for unexpected public health challenges.
