East Jeddah Hospital has recently introduced a sophisticated sterilization device to provide sterilization services that are secured and compatible with the adopted standards. The automatic device helps to clean all hospital’s exits and entrances and inpatient rooms using shortwave ultraviolet radiation. It also helps to kill all living microorganisms, including drug-resistant bacteria such as Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and many bacteria and viruses. The device is under the supervision of the hospital’s infection control department with the support of highly qualified nursing staff to ensure complete sterilization.
This step comes in continuation of the hospital efforts to improve the performance and upgrade the quality of health services provided to patients and visitors.
