COVID-19 – commonly known as coronavirus – is putting hygiene, cleaning and disinfection firmly in the spotlight worldwide. Jacobs, Lammers & Smits GP practice in the Dutch town of Geertruidenberg is also taking additional measures to prevent contamination. One of these measures is the professional disinfection of a dedicated treatment room by EWS Group using hydrogen peroxide.
Measures
Frouke Kieboom is a practice nurse at Jacobs, Lammers & Smits GP practice in Geertruidenberg. She is also registered in the Dutch BIG register as a healthcare professional and has experience working as a community nurse. This experience is proving particularly valuable at the GP practice during the coronavirus crisis.
GPs and practice nurses are currently under considerable pressure. They are doing everything possible to prevent contamination within the team so that they can continue treating as many patients as possible. A doctor has even been assigned specifically to treat patients who are or may be infected with coronavirus.
An important additional measure is the professional disinfection of a dedicated treatment room by EWS Group. The treatment is designed to eliminate up to 99.9% of the bacteria and viruses present.
Safety
Only patients who are or may be infected with coronavirus are treated in the disinfected treatment room by designated doctors.
“Thanks to EWS Group, we now have a dedicated COVID-19 room,” says Kieboom. “This makes working here feel much safer.”
During EWS Group’s professional disinfection treatment, a hydrogen peroxide-based disinfectant solution is dispersed throughout the room as a fine mist. This allows even hard-to-reach areas to be treated. The treatment eliminates up to 99.9% of the microorganisms present.
“That gives us a sense of reassurance,” says Kieboom. “It means we can treat these patients who are or may be infected in this room, while minimising the risk to both doctors and other patients.”
