From 30 Cases to 3: How Modern Laundry Equipment Revolutionized Patient Safety

At Broadwell Christian Hospital, we’ve witnessed a medical miracle that didn't happen in an operating room, but in their laundry department. Before 2022, staff manually scrubbed 30 to 40 kilograms of surgical gowns, scrubs, and linens every day.

The introduction of EcoClean industrial laundry equipment, funded by the Mina Fund, has created an ongoing benefit that protects every patient who enters the hospital's doors:

  • Drastic Infection Reduction: Infection rates dropped by nearly 90% - from 25-30 cases down to just 3 cases reported this year.

  • Dignity for Staff: Mr. Deshraj, a dedicated team member of 13 years, no longer has to face the grueling physical toll of manual washing.

  • Nearly 100% Resource Efficiency: Automating the sanitization of surgical drapes, gowns, and towels ensures a sterile environment for all departments.

  • Sustainable Health: This equipment is a long-term asset, providing daily protection against secondary infections for years to come.

When you support the Mina Fund, you aren't just buying a machine; you are preventing suffering and ensuring that a 'clean' hospital stays truly safe.
