hospitals over a wide area of East Kent, namely, Canterbury, Margate, Ashford
and Folkestone. The whole project is underway and is anticipated to be completed

14 Wassenburg washer-disinfectors and 12 Wassenburg Dry 300 drying and storage
cabinets, all of which enjoy full tracking and traceability systems, together
with water purification equipment.

This significant contract is a complete 'turnkey' project comprising the supply,

On site operator training is provided to the Trust and all staff will be
properly trained, assessed for competence and be required to pass a certificated
rating before operating the equipment.

one number and one contact for all liaison with DawMed International to ensure
the required outcome of fully compliant decontamination equipment in the various
departments of the four hospitals.

International Limited in partnership with the Trust's Estates Department.'
