The advanced state of disrepair of certain health facilities is a reality that has developed in the minds of the populations the stereotyped conception according to which: it is only poorly maintained health facilities that are better suited for the most vulnerable sections of society.
Several health facilities are struggling to maintain their premises and properly manage the waste from their income-generating activity. Whether private or public, legal or clandestine, the bad methods and habits exhibited by some of them show how the lack of motivation and planning can lead a service to be to worry only about the quest for gain while relegating to the background or giving no importance to an equally important point which is none other than the sanitation of the workplace and its surroundings.
Sanitation of hospital formations
This is a problem whose solution is conditioned by the resolution of four shortcomings: the lack of quality and local health facilities, the lack of qualified personnel, the lack of remuneration and the lack of health planning short and long term. If it were necessary to scrupulously respect the sanitary standards, the number of health establishments which would cross the meshes on a total estimate of two thousand five hundred (2500) on a national scale according to a study would be even more ridiculous. The strict application of the law in a context where the demand is far superior to the quality and quantity of services offered, will have catastrophic consequences on the social level. We cannot foresee the construction of a health centre and not plan its maintenance and waste management. The sanitation of the space is essential in the production of quality care. If we are not for the closure of a health establishment even when it deserves to be, we rather encourage an improvement of the waste management and sanitation system of the hospital so that care is not limited only to the level of Men but also takes into account His environment.
