Cleanliness in Government hospitals

I had been to a very well known government hospital yesterday. I have seen it on TV and newspapers before and have heard a lot about it and had created a visual about how the interior of the hospital would be.

I was really surprised when i was walking inside the hospital. When i was climbing up the stairs, i saw that people have spat at the corners of the stairs and its not been cleaned. I understand that it is a very big hospital and cleaning it is a very tuff task. But cleanliness is the most basic hygiene that is expected in any hospital. How much time would it take for any patient to catch an infection? There was a lot of dust everywhere. I don’t blame these hospitals because they have countless number of people coming there every day. It is people who dirty the place around and spit and all.

I appreciate that these government hospitals are lifesavers for many people even from the lower income group. They also provide a lot of free services. But i think some improvement in the cleanliness could be of great help for every patient admitted in these hospitals. The hospital could probably try and employ some more cleaners and can have regular check on whether the cleaning is done regularly or not. They should make a strict rule that no one should spit in the hospital. Every person entering the hospital should be cautioned to not spit or dirty the hospital.

Hygiene is the most important thing in a hospital because if things around are not clean patients will not show quick recovery and they may fall even more sick. . I also understand that these hospitals might be putting their complete efforts to keep the hospital clean.
