Imagine you’re visiting the hospital for treatment and you suddenly find a rat crawling through the reception area. Sounds creepy, right? Well, apart from patients they are the unwelcomed visitors in healthcare centers. They don’t need any large entrance to enter they can get into infrastructure by any small crack or opening.
Healthcare facilities face many challenges every day including patient care and convenience. They try to fulfill each criterion to meet the top level of sanitation. But still, pest infestation can be seen commonly in those infrastructures because even a slight carelessness while sanitization gives an invitation to those creepy creatures!
Pest activity may be encouraged by frequently opened doors, people going in and out, cartons of supplies being shipped, and food storage and preparation.
The common culprits in healthcare facilities are rats, bedbugs, cockroaches, and Birds! They can make you sick, kill you, and bring down buildings in a single shot.
Rats gnaw anything which comes in their way. They will gnaw through wood, wires, drainpipes, and plaster on walls which may weaken the building structure. Apart from this, they are well-known for contaminating the food.
It is a fact that ‘Rats and mice are known for spreading more than 35 diseases to humans.’
Bedbug’s infestation can be easily done by bags and clothes of regular visitors. We all know that they feed on blood so bedbug biting can cause a serious allergy or inflammation.
Did you know?
‘Cockroaches can contaminate food with their waste and saliva which contains bacteria that can cause food poisoning, diarrhea, and Staphylococcus infections.’
Cockroach infestation in hospitals can indicate that the hospital hygiene is not up to the mark as they breed or live in drains and trashes.
Now you may wonder how birds can cause a threat to hospitals.
But hospitals are the perfect nesting place for them. Precisely it’s their droppings and feathers which cause a serious threat. Birds are carriers of almost 60 diseases and also they can affect the quality of air.
Let’s have a look at some shreds of evidence!
Big negligence in Indore hospital, rats nibble away dead body
Indore(IN) | September 21, 2021
In the Corona period, where people are treating the hospital as the temple and the doctors as God, some hospitals are witnessing embarrassing incidents of humanity. One such case has come from Indore, the economic capital of Madhya Pradesh, where the negligence of a large hospital has been exposed. The case is of the unique hospital in Indore.
A few days ago, an elderly man from Vinay Nagar, Jain Colony, was admitted to the city’s Unique hospital after his health deteriorated, but he died during treatment. When it came to handing over the body of the elderly to the family in front of the hospital management, they handed the body to the family which was nibbled by the rats. The agitated family says that there is no place to keep the dead bodies in such a big hospital.
Panchkula center serves cockroaches with lunch
Chandigarh (IN) | August 31, 2020
Despite nodal officers and members appointed for maintaining cleanliness and ensuring better facilities to patients at Covid care centers and hospitals, inmates of the Covid care facility in Sector 14 on Sunday shared shocking pictures of cockroaches in the packed lunch, the bad shape of toilets, and poor cleanliness at the center, prompting the chief medical officer to mark an inquiry.
The pictures showed five cockroaches in rice and white chana served to patients in a disposable plate. All patients in general ward refused to eat their food. There is no fixed timing for serving food; patients alleged the patients said the toilets were in a bad shape.
These incidents proved even hospitals aren’t immune from creepy pests!
Believe it or not, pest infestation in healthcare centers is a serious problem and with the COVID outbreak, hospitals and healthcare facilities would be overburdened. They are least bothered about a pest infestation.
Hospital is a place where patients visit to get cured of unwanted diseases but what if they come in contact with these pesky critters which carry innumerable bacteria and pathogens?
Many ineffective pest control methods have been used previously in hospitals such as traps, glue boards, baits, fumigation, etc. but we all know the fact that these critters find a way to come back.
Many patients are already compromised from underlying health conditions, and any sighting of pests can lead to the closure of the center.
So what else can be done?
