Once, hospitals and healthcare centers used to be one of the safest and hygienic places on the planet. However, since the COVID-19 hit, people are scared to go in, unless it’s an emergency. They’d rather splint a broken arm at home rather than get treated at a hospital. 

This has put hospitals in a unique position to understand and address peoples’ fear and provide unprecedented levels of sanitization and healthcare facilities to patients. 

• How can hospitals begin to prepare for this urgent need to reassure safety?
• How can hospitals gear up for future airborne infections through appropriate infrastructure?

Let’s find out!

• Adopt measures to prevent Hospital Acquired Infections

The first step hospitals need to take is to protect the visitors, patients, and staff from Hospital Acquired Infections. These infections are usually acquired in hospitals and other healthcare facilities and spread through the infected staff, contaminated equipment, and air.  HAI’s are a leading cause of death in healthcare settings. Furthermore, poor air quality and COVID-19 have compromised the immune systems of individuals, leading to a higher susceptibility to such infections.

Against these infections in addition to surface disinfection and UV sterilization of rooms, Hospitals can upgrade their infrastructure with UV lights for HVAC. The application of the UVGI systems can be in the patient rooms, operation rooms, and high-infection risk areas to eliminate harmful airborne infections.

• Enforce Distancing and Standard Operating Procedures for Coronavirus Third Wave 

In the wake of the pandemic, it has become necessary to be at a safe distance from others, especially in hospitals. To effectively apply that, hospitals can set up virtual visits and appointments for patients. Hospitals can provide care at a distance through secure voice and video technology, enhancing patient’s experience across the care continuum.

Also, consider conducting a scenario analysis to identify alternative methods to tackle the upcoming wave of a pandemic such as using advanced controls, emerging technology, and increased ventilation to mitigate the risk of spread.

• Transform your Healthcare Infrastructure with Germicidal UV Light Solutions

An all-encompassing solution for hospitals and healthcare infrastructure integrating germicidal UV light to HVAC should be considered. UV light sanitizers are a proven air disinfection technology that inactivates bacteria, viruses, and fungi. These germicidal UV light solutions emit UV-C rays at a wavelength of 253.7 nm, which not only kills microbes but also prevents them from reproducing.

The best part? These germicidal UV light solutions can be used in combination with existing air conditioning units such as central air-conditioning systems, high-wall or cassette AC units, AHUs, or Fan Coils, etc., making them ideal for retrofit applications.

Foreseeing the upcoming airborne infection challenges in India, we know it is prudent to gear up the healthcare environment and upgrade your infrastructure.

Make Your Way to Technology-Driven Healthcare with Magneto

Magneto CleanTech offers a comprehensive range of UVGI solutions for HVAC systems. In addition, the UVGI solutions by Magneto are tested and certified by Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) for a 99% inactivation rate of coronavirus and SGS for their on-site anti-microbial performance. The products are designed to protect people and their environment against deadly viruses and bacteria.

SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, is found in hospital wards and ICUs merely 4 meters away from infected patients, which is 4X more than the distance recommended for protection by WHO. Kill these airborne viruses and particles that linger in the air with Magneto’s proven UV systems.
