Joining the ABHI UK Pavilion, the company will be leading a series of live demonstrations, giving visitors a chance to see its solutions for Environmental Decontamination, Patient Skincare and Capital Equipment up close and in action.
Recently, the spotlight has been shone on ventilation and how good ventilation can play a role in reducing the risk of airborne transmission of infections. Improving ventilation has been a significant challenge for healthcare providers, workplaces, and homes across the globe.
Visitors will be able to see how GAMA’s ground-breaking Rediair instant air purification system can clean the air in an enclosed environment. The device, designed for use in hospital settings, can trap particulates as small as 0.3 microns.
The portable air filter is proven to be 10 times more effective than HEPA 13 air purifiers, as it has dual-intake medical grade HEPA 14 filters. These filters trap 99.995% of airborne particles, as well as ventilating rooms up to 120m3 with five air changes per hour.
The company will also be showcasing a portable patient isolation room, Rediroom – giving visitors a chance to witness how quickly the solution can be deployed and stored as a time-effective isolation method for patients.
Rediroom has been recognised for its ability to allow hospitals to rapidly respond to infection outbreaks by isolating patients anywhere. TIME magazine also recognised the innovation and listed Rediroom as one of the Best Inventions of 2022.
The solution – which is wheeled on a cart containing plastic scaffolding and a single-use canopy that is assembled to surround a hospital bed in about five minutes – has been successfully deployed in the UK’s NHS. In one case, hospital-onset COVID-19 cases declined by 75% after a hospital system began using Redirooms to isolate patients in admissions and ward areas.
Dr Allen Hanouka, co-founder and CEO of GAMA Healthcare, said: “We have been attending Arab Health since 2009 and are always impressed to see how it has grown over the years both in terms of number of visitors and the variety of innovation on display. We have made great connections and partnerships which were initiated from Arab Health in the past and hope to continue that process. Our partners from all over the world visit Arab Health, and we look forward to meeting our existing partners and make new partnerships with both our distributors and our customers alike. It is also a place of learning, where we also get to meet our peers in the industry and review latest developments in the healthcare sector.”
With headquarters in Hemel Hempstead, England, GAMA now have offices in six cities, across three continents. The company’s global presence has continued to grow under the Clinell brand and many more. It now exports products to over 70 countries worldwide.
The company consistently innovates and has patented many unique formulations to help reduce the spread of infections such as COVID—19. This includes a range of air filtration, surface cleaning and disinfection and hand hygiene solutions for healthcare and dental environments.
Visitors to the stand will also be provided samples and trials from GAMA’s Clinell range, a universal detergent-disinfectant wipe.
The Arab Health Exhibition & Congress is taking place from 30 January – 2 February 2023 at the Dubai Convention and Exhibition Centre. Throughout the exhibition, GAMA Healthcare will be located on the ABHI UK Pavilion – Stand H2.C30.
