Safe operating theatres at Tawan Hospital

Tawan Hospital, founded in 1979, has gained great prestige in recent years, becoming a reference in the United Arab Emirates for the specialities of oncology, neurosurgery and paediatric surgery. Currently, the hospital has more than 500 beds and receives approximately 20,000 patients per month, offering a wide range of medical services. 

The hospital is a healthcare complex consisting of several areas, each with specific needs. However, operating theatres stand out for their complexity and unique requirements. Hygiene and airtightness are key factors in these spaces, as they are essential to ensure a sterile environment, minimise the risk of infection and ensure the safety of both patients and medical staff. These elements are essential for safe and effective surgical practice. 

Infection-Free and Airtight Operating Theatres 

The importance of keeping operating theatres infection-free and airtight is undisputed. A clean and disinfected surgical environment significantly reduces the likelihood of post-operative infections. Medical instruments, surfaces and equipment must be completely sterilised. In addition, staff must follow strict hygiene protocols, such as hand washing and the use of sterile clothing, to avoid contamination of surgical wounds. 

The airtightness of operating theatres is also vital, as it limits the entry of external contaminants such as dust, bacteria and other pathogens. To ensure these standards, Tawan Hospital has installed automatic hermetic doors in the surgical area. These doors, both sliding and swinging, are made of stainless steel and have electro-polarised glass vision panels, guaranteeing efficient environmental control and safety in every procedure. These doors provide exceptional airtightness, preventing the entry of dust, bacteria, viruses and other contaminants. This is crucial to maintain a sterile and safe environment during surgical interventions. 

With these measures, the hospital continues to set new standards in specialised medical care.
