Mumbai: The Bombay High Court said on Wednesday that all Civic Hospitals and countries managed by the state in Maharashtra must have a dedicated committee to oversee cleanliness and cleanliness in their place visited by a large number of patients and their relatives every day.
The main bench of justice in Datta Datta and Justice GS Kulkarni said in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic, maintaining cleanliness and cleanliness must be a priority for all hospitals.
The bench is listening to litigation of public interest (pill) submitted by Pune-based NGOs who are looking for hospitals mandator to follow the norms of biomedical waste disposal.
On Wednesday, when this problem was called, the bench said it was time, a dedicated committee was established in every hospital run by Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) and also by the state government.
“Every hospital must have a separate committee to oversee cleanliness.
It is a must because of a large number of patients and relatives visit every day and thus there is an infected risk,” HC said.
“Cleanliness must be maintained.
We cannot allow people to be infected.
The disposal of biomedical waste must be done correctly,” he said.
BMC advice, senior advocate Anil Sakhre, told HC that city hospitals in the city have appointed personnel to maintain cleanliness.
He, however, said BMC would look into the suggestion delivered by the applicant to maintain the highest cleanliness standards in his hospital.
HC postpones pills to hear further next week.
