The Ministry for construction in Russia makes a new set of rules concerning the norms for engineering healthcare centers in Russia.
The regulations concerning engineering norms for healthcare centers in Russia have not been changed since the 70’s of the previous century when they were primarily established. The new set of rules was developed on the basis of the scientific examinations as well as European, interstate and national legislative and normative documents. The set of rules stipulates norms of newly designed constructions, refurbished constructions, overall repaired constructions and medical healthcares.
To engineer buildings engineers will apply contemporary engineering technologies aimed at increase of patients’ security and functioning of healthcare centers. So to say, that ventilation and air conditioning have become obligatory together with secure power supply and water supply systems. “Clean rooms” system has also been actively used.
“In Israel it is accepted that air conditioners shall be obligatory installed in hospitals,” says Mark Katsenelson, the Director of Sapir Medical Clinic in Tel-Aviv.
“First of all, air conditioners are necessary to reduce bacteria,” he adds.
A row of parameters should be taken into account when choosing an air conditioner for a hospital – noise level is one the most important. A patient needs calm atmosphere for recovery. There are also conditioners equipped with air ionization. They make positive effect on patients’ immune system by saturating air with ions.
