the need for health workers to maintain personal hygiene while at the hospitals

I agree with you about the need for health workers to maintain personal hygiene while at the hospitals. This is essential because if we can prevent the pathogens from establishing a dwelling place and keep them from infecting the healthcare workers, then we will have made a big step in preventing their spread. Also, you have brought a very important point of routinely disinfecting the hospital materials. I believe that if this is made a practice, then any pathogens that come up will be killed before they spread. This will be a very effective method of preventing the spread of infections brought about by the pathogens.

From your experience, it is clear that sanitation plays a big role in killing the pathogens. I agree with you on the point of disinfecting surfaces and clothes using bleach as it takes care of any pathogens that may have attached themselves to those surfaces. However, I would ask, what is the health implication of fumigation on patients attending the hospital? Do the chemicals have an effect on their health, especially if they happen to inhale the chemicals used? I feel that while we work towards eliminating the pathogens, care should be taken to ensure that the processes do not cause any harm to patients or healthcare workers.
