Drone-Supported Window Cleaning Begins in Inpatient Units Equipped with Smart Systems at PAÜ Hospital
At Pamukkale University (PAÜ) Hospitals, drone-supported window cleaning was carried out in inpatient units using modern technologies to improve service quality.

Regarding the drone-supported window cleaning, Chief Physician Prof. Dr. Hakan Alkan stated: “The cleaning of non-opening, isolated exterior windows, supported by smart systems that reduce the risk of infection, preserve building heat for energy efficiency, and enhance hospital safety, has been achieved through drone technology. Since the hospital’s opening, the exterior windows had only been cleaned once by professional climbers through outsourced service. That method was both dangerous and highly costly for our hospital. Exterior window cleaning, which poses high risks with traditional methods, was carried out safely using drone technology without endangering employee health. This practice both ensures employee safety and supports occupational health while providing time and cost advantages in maintenance processes. By ensuring the proper exterior cleaning of our hospital, we have created a model example. With the support of the Organized Industrial Zone Directorate, the hospital administration ensured that the cleaning was both safe and cost-effective, and it is planned to be carried out regularly from now on. We will continue to take solution-oriented steps to maintain uninterrupted cleaning services in compliance with hygiene standards. We would like to thank the Organized Industrial Zone Directorate and the company from İzmir for their sensitivity and cooperation.”
