Hospitals Are Supposed to Be Clean and Sterile. But sometimes, they’re not.
Infections are caused by fungi, bacteria, viruses and parasites. Hospitals are required to have policies and procedures about sanitation and infection control. So when you go to the hospital for medical care, you have a right to expect an environment that ensures your medical problems won’t become worse.
