In a landmark event for healthcare innovation, Col. (Res) Yaakov Blitshtein, Director General of Foreign Affairs of Israel, inaugurated a state-of-the-art Outpatient Department (OPD) No.-20 at JJ Hospital, Mumbai.
The project, a joint initiative of the Grant Government Medical College, the hospital, and the Consulate General of Israel, was inaugurated on Tuesday by the Israeli Consul General Kobbi Shoshani. Nirlat, an Israeli paint manufacturer, developed the technology in collaboration with Nanosono, a provider of antimicrobial solutions.
The innovative paint is already being used in multiple departments at Hillel Yaffe Medical center, where they plan to extend its use to the whole facility.
Nirlat in collaboration with NANOSONO developed AQUANIR ACTIVE SHIELD, an acrylic paint that destroys up to 99.99% of bacteria and viruses. In the Hillel Yaffe Medical Center, the paint has already been applied in several departments.
Nirlat teamed up with Nanosono to launch a water-based acrylic paint that aims to destroy bacteria. The technological innovation produces a mechanism that does not diminish over time. The development addresses a need that exists in hospitals, nursing homes, kindergartens and food factories.
Nirlat that operates in Kibbutz Nir Oz that was severely damaged on October 7, and in the meantime has returned to activity, is launching an acrylic paint that destroys bacteria in collaboration with the nanotechnology company, Nanosono.
