Apologies for the delay in replying - What are the main requirements for medical institutions in your country? Namely, the minimum required composition of the premises, infrastructure. On the basis of the authorization of the Act on the Organization of Health Care Services, regulations have established requirements for hospitals, family physician practices, providers of ambulatory specialist care, emergency care and independent nursing care, and midwifery care providers. They include requirements for premises, equipment and personnel. https://www.riigiteataja.ee/en/eli/ee/Riigikogu/act/528062022010/consolide - What are the requirements for mechanical and natural ventilation for medical institutions in your country - in which rooms is mechanical ventilation mandatory and in which natural ventilation is sufficient, what are the requirements for ventilation filters (as an example, HEPA), and how often should ventilation ducts be inspected or checked? Details related to ventilation are not regulated in healthcare-specific legislation. - Is there control over the cleanliness of air in rooms with increased requirements for cleanliness of indoor air (for example, operating rooms). No - Requirements for water and sewerage (for example, in which rooms, in addition to sanitary facilities, sinks are needed); no - What laws, regulations regulate these requirements? Have special hygienic requirements been developed for medical institutions? Hygiene-related details are not regulated in healthcare-specific legislation. - Perhaps there are also rules for organizing epidemiological safety, that is, separating the flow of personnel and patients, organizing infectious boxes and isolation rooms. Hospitals are required by law to have an infection control system and its minimum requirements - Are there guidelines available in your country for organizing hospitals, etc.? Regulations establish requirements for hospitals and they include requirements for premises, equipment and personnel.
