The management and maintenance of necessities like electricity, water, medical gases , air-conditioning and mechanical ventilation, vehicles, fire protection systems, steam , sanitary and sewerage systems, roads and drains, hospital grounds, landscaping and even pest control are under the purview of FEMS.Given that these facilities are vital for the smooth-functioning of operating theatres, blood and drugs storage units, intensive care units, haemodialysis centers and other critical areas of the hospital, services under FEMS include carrying out routine inspections, providing preventive and corrective maintenance services and sharing technical advice. A Quality Assurance Program report has to be submitted periodically to the Ministry of Health for monitoring purposes.
