Meet 57357 patient Layla, a pretty 5 year old girl who was admitted in February 2021 with a tumor above the left kidney. Throughout the past year Laila was bravely fighting cancer. After chemotherapy and surgery to remove the tumor, the disease hit again. Laila is lucky as the disease did not progress while she […]

Each room of BMT Unit, has its own dedicated Air Handling Unit (AHU) to provide 60 air changes per hour. This means the fresh air entering the patients room is first treated through special filters. Treated fresh air then passes through 0.3 Micron High Efficiency particulate Air Filter (HEPA). Hepa removes all the bacteria, viruses […]

Patients undergoing bone marrow transplantation or chemotherapy for cancer are profoundly immunosuppressed. They are at risk of both endogenous and exogenous infections and require enhanced protection from infection while in hospital.

ECN can change the destinies of thousands of children like Laila, rekindling their hope in cure by sponsoring our BMT expansion project to increase its capacity to 27 beds. The setting up of the special clean rooms with Hepa filters, special air pressure and air handling machines as well as furnishings & medical equipment constitute […]

The aim of this narrative review was to determine the optimal design features of bone marrow transplant units for reducing infection risk in these vulnerable patients, and therefore need to be isolated into CLEAN ROOMS which will protect them from infections. (Protective Environment (PE) Room)

Location of our new BMT unit was carefully chosen to be on a separate private floor. Such planning will help isolate the BMT department from any other workflow in the hospital. The BMT floor is designed to act as a Macro independent & isolated capsule, with all necessary services needed for the bone marrow transplantation […]

Each patient room is a Protective Environment (PE), a sealed space with positive air pressure and strenuous filtration requirements. A HEPA filtration system in conjunction with hard ceilings minimizes harmful airborne particulates. All water is filtered to 0.2 microns to minimize waterborne contaminants. The Bone Marrow Transplant unit is closed to traffic from other areas […]
