ELM WATANIYA…
 In 2000
Started as a department of its parent company, GFS Trading & Contracting
in the year 2000 by its founders – Mr. JS Tomar & Dr. Mamta Tomar
 In 2004
ELM went on to become an independent entity as ELM Trading Co.
In 2005
Founded a sister company JM Enviro Technologies in India; handling
environmental projects within India
 In 2012
Acquired general Trading & Contracting License so name changed as
“ELM WATANIYA General Trading & Contracting Company”
Physical Safety
Manual Handling
of Patients
According to the American Nurses
Association

 An estimated 52% of nurses

complain of chronic back pain
 20% requesting assignment
transfers and
 Up to 12% leaving the profession
as a result of back injuries
Solution…… CEILING TRACK HOISTS
For Nurses For Management
 Reduced number of
 Less pain & muscular staff injuries
fatigue  Improved patient safety
 Safer working conditions  Reduced worker’s
and better ergonomics compensation medical
 Reduced risk of injury and indemnity costs
 Improved job  Reduced lost workdays
satisfaction & sick leave
 Increased morale  Improved recruitment
 Staff can work to an and retention of
older age Paramedics
 More energy at the end  Fewer resources
of the work shift required to replace
injured staff

MEANS COST EFFECTIVE SOLUTION

Where to Install
Sensory Room Rehabilitation Wash Room Ward Corridor Patient Transfer

X-ray Mortuary Ward Pathology Lab ICU & OT

Electrical Safety
Isolated Power Supply (IPS)
SAFETY BEHIND THE SOCKETS
 Normally UPS with TN earthing
system used for uninterrupted
power supply
 No patient isolation
 Any current leak may be fatal
 Recommended to use IPS in OT,
ICU, CCU & Recovery rooms
which raise alarms & isolate the
patient from any eventuality of
Electric Shock
Specialized Fume Hoods
Complete Air Control in Labs

Specialized Extractors & scrubbers used to

arrest the harmful extracts and isotopic
materials
Innovative Air Control System
 Complete air circulation and ventilation controlled by a Central unit consisting
of Electronic Controlled system developed by Waldner, Germany
 Airflow-controller recognizes the requirement of fume hood individually at all
time
 Within seconds precisely & securely adjust Airflow rates thus saving energy
 Each laboratory is controlled individually
 Complete system is microprocessor controlled
 If system deviates from the standard set point an audio visual alarm triggers
 Sash opening controlled automatically, opening more than the set point
indicated with alarms
 Such Air Control System doesn’t allow escape of any hazardous emission in the
main duct
HVAC Water Treatment
Chemical Free Treatment

Complex modulated signal

field provides the necessary
molecular agitation for scale
and bio-film prevention &
removal
Incoming Hard water
Treated water with
Reaction minerals, colloids treated &
Chamber with
Solenoid coil
the calcium converted to
aragonite crystals
The Process…..

 Agitation caused by Triangular waves

Result
 Converting colloids into nonionic bodies
 Breaking hydrogen bonds of water Deposit free Heat
molecules
 Capturing of nonionic bodies within water
Exchangers & Pipes
molecules
 Removal from the system & ……..
Fiber Free Environment
Pre-insulated Ducts
 Clean ducting system for health care
industry
 Self-cleaning mechanism for dust removal
 No exposed insulation, material
sandwiched between metallic plates
 Much better fire properties than
conventional systems
 Superior Indoor Air Quality
 Longer Life
 Non-fibrous material
 Consistent insulation properties over a
longer life period
Sound Pollution Control
Super Silence Insulation
 Reduces duct Air Side noise substantially
 Active Anti-microbial protection 24x7
 Improved indoor air quality
 Noise blocking
 Vibration Dampening
 Non-Fibrous
 100% Recyclable
 Zero ODP (Ozone Depletion Potential)
 Zero GWP (Global Warming Potential)
Alternate Water Source
Grey Water Treatment & Reuse

Alternate Source of water for Reuse

Patients & Staff
Multi Sensory Rooms

A space for complete relaxation & Stress

Release for All Ages with Special Effects of
Light - Sound – Music & Aroma
Where to Install……..
Sensory rooms provide:
 An interactive environment that not only helps to distract their mind off of
their condition or illness
 Also offers various stimulating effects in the form of lighting, sounds, smells
and textures
 These elements all work together to help patients of all ages feel calm and
relaxed, reducing their stress levels and frustrations to aid their recovery
 Massage, aromatherapy & reminiscence work,
 Physiotherapy, communication & stress release
 Children wards
 Trauma Centers for pain distraction
 Physiotherapy & Rehabilitation
 Special Staff & Patient’s family Sensory Studios
Patients & Staff
Dry Water Therapy
The Technology…..
 The unique combination of water, warming and power
 The warmth of the water radiates deep into the body's tissue
layers
 Stimulating the circulation and metabolism, relaxing the
muscles and releasing tension
 The entire body benefits from the carefully controlled power
of the waterjets while floating almost weightlessly on the dry
"water surface".
Immediate Relief from Stress
Greenhouses
Greenhouse in Hospitals
 To grow fresh Organic vegetables
 Can be used for Gardening Therapy
 Hydroponic farming means without
soil
 Henry Ford Bloomfield hospital in
USA conducting Educational classes
for patient families to teach about
Organic farming & Healthy cooking
 Used as Relaxation centers
 Tremendous increase in revenue
generation
Why Greenhouse in hospitals
 Facilitate stress reduction & helps the body to reach a more
balanced state
 Help patients to summon up their own inner healing resource
 Help patients to come to terms with incurable medical
condition
 Provide a setting where staff can conduct physical therapy,
gardening therapy etc. with patients
 Provide staff with a needed retreat from stress of work
 Provide a relaxed setting for patient-visitor interaction away
from hospital interior.
Conclusion
Future Hospitals in Kuwait must be
More safe for Patients, their families &
staff

More Pollution Free with limited use of

Chemicals & Near to Nature

Well Equipped to keep More Relax &

Stress Free Environment
