For that, she is very grateful and wishes to thank the hospital with all her heart for the high standards of medical care.
But it is the fear of MRSA that makes us terrified of seeing loved ones in a hospital these days and she was totally horrified by what she witnessed when the ward was being cleaned one day.
A cleaner entered the ward with a cloth in hand and proceeded to drag it from the sinks to the beds’ food trays and then to the clinical waste bin, sloppily dragging it along.
She continued until she had rounded the whole room, happily transferring any germs from one place to another without stopping.
My friend was horrified, as were the other mums on the same ward who all looked on in disbelief and disgust.
The nurses’ routine was stringent, she says. They always washed their hands upon entering the ward and before moving on to the next bed.
The cleaning staff on the other hand seemed to follow no rules of hygiene whatsoever. Worse still, they seemed to make the room dirtier than cleaner as the same cloth was used on a sink, a tray and a bin.
