Steps are being taken up at Gandhi Hospital to clear garbage and menace of pests (rodents, flies). Besides clearing the garbage inside and outside the hospital, some places are being designated at various points in the hospital where attendants can have food.
Rodent catchers were hired to clear the menace. All these steps are being taken as part of Swachh Gandhi Hospital Drive launched four days ago, which will go on for one more week at least.
Superintendent of the hospital Dr M Raja Rao said that they are attempting to improve sanitation at the health facility, and cut down spread of infections, diseases. He said making the hospital free of garbage and arresting leakages is a priority.
