GVK EMRI (Emergency Management and Research Institute) is a pioneer in emergency management services in India. This study aimed to find out the vulnerable sites for contamination in emergency ambulances.
At the sites found to be more vulnerable to contamination and infection, more care must be taken to maintain hygiene conditions, through adoption of appropriate disinfectants.
These results are preliminary and need to be repeated with a larger number of replicates for reproducible results.
No relevant conflicts of interest declared.
