About
Evidence is only useful when people can act on it.
I'm Murtuza Diwan, an infection prevention and control professional with more than 15 years of experience improving patient safety and reducing healthcare-associated infections.
I've worked across acute care, long-term care, community healthcare, and academia, helping organizations build infection prevention programs that are practical, sustainable, and driven by data. As a Certified in Infection Control (CIC®) professional, educator, and mentor, I care most about translating science into strategies that improve patient outcomes.
I founded Epiara to provide trusted, evidence-informed consulting, education, and strategic guidance in IPAC, tailored to each client's unique needs.
