Clínica Sant Antoni is an intermediate care hospital with more than 30 years of experience, the result of the merger of two prestigious clinics in Barcelona. Originally, surgical centres in 1983 were transformed into centres for chronic patients. In 2011, a new building of 12,000 m² was inaugurated, equipped with the most advanced technology and a highly qualified multidisciplinary team.
The main objective of the centre is to receive patients with rehabilitation and stabilisation needs. Since 2014, it has followed the EFQM quality model, and its mission is to cure, care for, nurture, and rehabilitate. It is also a teaching centre that welcomes students for work placements from various universities.

3. Surface disinfection.
Surface disinfection at Clínica Sant Antoni is one of the fundamental pillars for maintaining an environment free of infectious pathogens. Every surface that comes into contact with patients, staff, and visitors must be properly cleaned and disinfected with appropriately designed hygiene protocols.
Hygiene requirements:
Choice of suitable products: disinfectant products must be specifically designed for disinfecting surfaces in healthcare settings, ensuring their effectiveness against bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens. The products must be compatible with the surfaces to be treated (wood, stainless steel, plastic, etc.).
Cleaning frequency: Frequently touched surfaces (door handles, light switches, tables, medical equipment) are cleaned and disinfected several times per day, preferably with a continuous cleaning approach using convenient solutions such as ECO ONE.
Safety regulations: used products must be safe for staff and patients, leaving no toxic residues that could compromise health. An adequate ventilation during and after cleaning to avoid inhalation of chemicals.
