According to José Antonio Rodríguez Leyva, Managing Director of Sisemed and guest speaker at training sessions, "it is very important for professionals to properly understand the implications and constraints involved in having clean rooms in perfect condition and with the required level of asepsis".

The course is included in the Comprehensive Training Plan on Patient Safety by the Department of Health, and takes a look over the construction features, climate control, maintenance, decontamination, cleaning and regular checks of the facilities in a hospital's areas of risk.
