Combined efforts of the public, patients, doctors, nurses, staff and other workers will result in keeping the hospital premises clean and prevent outbreak of diseases. This was stressed during the awareness programme held at Government Headquarters Hospital here on Monday.
Aimed at keeping the premises clean, ‘Clean Hospital 2015’ programme is being implemented in the hospital for the past two months.
As part of the programme, each week is attributed for a cause and activities related to it are taken up by all stakeholders.
