Hospitals should ideally be the cleanest and safest place for people to be. However, in a number of countries including India, public hospitals tend to be in dilapidated and unhealthy states. If proper measures are not taken, it may turn out to be a health hazard for unhealthy patients as well as healthy attendees and visitors.
To ensure a good treatment of patients with smooth recovery, their environment should be clean and sanitised. The hospital authority, with the aid of other professionals, should ensure that rules and regulations are duly followed inside the premises. The government must aid the hospitals by giving them a better budget to deal with crises. Discipline and a well-followed system guarantee that everybody gets their chance to see the doctor in the allotted time and no one is left out.
It hereby becomes very important for the staff members of the hospital and even the visitors of the hospital to ensure cleanliness and hygiene. Lavatories and bathrooms should be inspected and sanitized regularly. Every product used should be properly cleaned and sterilized, and appropriately treated or discarded immediately after. Food and water should be adequately nutritious, as well as prepared under clean and hygienic conditions.
While the hospital should have space enough to accommodate large numbers of people, there should be a well-regulated system such that spaces are not overcrowded. Hospitals are a basic public property which should be a place of responsibility for everyone such that no one misses out on the benefits.
