Sickening state of state hospital toilets

I wish to bring to the kind notice of the authorities the condition of the toilets in all government hospitals.These hospitals are in a really filthy state, not cleaned and maintained properly.We come out with all sorts of infections if we use these toilets.

It is only the wealthy class of citizens in our country who can afford to enter private hospitals and all others have to seek entry to government hospitals. As a result the ordinary people of the country have to seek entry to private hospitals, that charge very unreasonable rates even at the cost of pawning their valuables.

If the toilets in government hospitals are clean and well maintained we will all definitely not hesitate to enter the government hospitals for treatment.

Why can’t the authorities ensure that hospital toilets are cleaned at least thrice a day? They should be disinfected and maintained in a hygienic condition.

The doctors in charge of wards and the hospital director are basically responsible, to maintain these toilets in a hygienic condition, so that we, the citizens could patronise these hospitals.

Another question is why cannot the government control the charges of private hospitals ?

Even the Minister of Health is responsible.

But who cares? These politicians have the facility to travel abroad and enter very high class hospitals at the expense of public funds even for minor ailments! Brig.Neville Fernando Via email
