Today, hygiene and safety has become one of the most vital aspects for humans, irrespective of wherever they may dwell. For instance, factors such as the high incidence of hospital-acquired infections; the increasing number of surgical procedures; the growing geriatric population and growing incidence of chronic diseases among others have been strongly boosting this disruptive market. To make objects/surface/humans suitable for usability or reusability without contaminating one another, a complete assurance is expected. Speaking of which, Schülke India, with 130+ years’ experience in Infection Prevention Chemistry is consistently offering a wide range of highly specific products, expert advice and reliable service across infection prevention, industrial hygiene and other products and personal services.

In conversation with Deep Sharma, Managing Director

What are the major aspects about your expertise & experience in the Infection Control system that you would like us to highlight in the article? We would also like to have an insight on the way you run the company.

Healthcare Associated Infection (HAI) is one of the avoidable risks in healthcare facilities. According to published reports by ECDC (European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control) and CDC (Centre for Disease Prevention and Control, US), there are approximately 5 Million incidents of HAI every year in Europe and the US put together. Thus, resulting in 100,000 deaths directly linked to HAI and over 200,000 deaths where HAI is one of the reasons for the death. Although there is no published data on HAI from India, however, the above mentioned statistic can clearly show us the severity of HAI in India, where the infrastructure, resources, protocols are not as developed as in Europe and the US. Therefore, perfectly acting upon the situation, we put our business of Infection Prevention in the right perspective so as to put some sense to our mission statement, i.e., ‘we protect lives, worldwide.’

How has your company’s journey been so far and what challenges did you encounter during this journey?
We have had an extremely
successful journey since Schulke India was established 8 years ago. Today, we are one of the recognised leaders and knowledge partners in the Infection Prevention field. There are always challenges, i.e., when it comes to a dynamic policy environment, evolving market and competition, among others. But however, with a strong, clear and consistent strategy, we are not only able to overcome these challenges, but we are even trying to leverage the same to come out with much bigger and better opportunities.
