She combines technical expertise, compassion, and innovation — using her knowledge to strengthen infection prevention systems, elevate dental safety culture, and promote continuous improvement across the profession.
Amrit’s guiding principle is simple yet powerful:
“Infection prevention is not just a compliance requirement — it’s the foundation of patient trust and professional excellence.”
When every member of the healthcare team takes responsibility for infection prevention, we create a culture of safety, reduce risks, and protect the wellbeing of both patients and staff. IPC is not just a requirement — it is a professional commitment to care, safety, and excellence.
As a passionate educator, Amrit
