Hospital Electrical Safety Solutions in Critical Areas ETKHO

In hospitals worldwide, electrical safety in critical areas such as Operating Rooms (OR) and Intensive Care Units (ICU) is not just a technical requirement – it is a vital factor in patient safety, reliability, and continuity of medical care.

Because patients in these environments are connected to multiple electromedical devices, even the smallest electrical fault can pose a serious risk. To address this challenge, ETKHO Hospital Engineering delivers cutting-edge medical IT systems, isolated power supplies, and medical isolation transformers engineered specifically for healthcare facilities.

Headquartered in Barcelona, Spain, ETKHO exports its solutions to the Middle East, Europe, Asia, and Latin America, supporting hospitals and clinics worldwide with reliable, compliant, and innovative electrical safety technologies.

Indirect contact risk: occurs when touching metallic parts that accidentally become energized due to insulation failure.

• Patient vulnerability: patients connected via electrodes, catheters or probes have lower body impedance, making them more sensitive to micro-currents.
• Continuity of service: in places like operating theatres or intensive care, even a short power interruption can endanger lives.

For this reason, international regulations require the use of medical IT isolated power systems in hospitals in Europe, the Middle East, and North Africa.

ETKHO is a leading specialist in hospital electrical engineering, providing tailored solutions for healthcare projects across Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, and Morocco. Our systems are designed to meet the unique requirements of hospitals, ensuring safety, reliability, and regulatory compliance.

In addition, ETKHO will be exhibiting at the WHX Dubai 2026 (Formerly Arab Health) , highlighting our commitment to delivering adaptable, cutting-edge solutions that perfectly fit the evolving needs of hospital projects in the Middle East.
