Recenzje

"The book is written for those who work in healthcare facilities which, by definition, includes not only those who are involved in direct patient care, such as physicians and nurses, but also other essential personnel, such as administrative, building and engineering, environmental support, and public relations staff. ... This book should serve not only as a guide for healthcare facilities, small or large, on the next bioemergency threat ... ." (Farrin Manian, Doody's Book Reviews, February, 2019)
