Officials at the Aberdeen Royal Infirmary in Glasgow, Scotland, have vowed patients that their “robust” cleaning procedures will prevent any infections similar to those which led to the deaths of two people at nearby Queen Elizabeth University Hospital, according to an article on The Press and Journal website.
In 2018, two patients at Queen Elizabeth died from infection linked to pigeon droppings.
A Healthcare Environment Inspectorate report recommendations include making sure a functioning negative pressure isolation room is available, along with updated protocol on when they should be used.
The report also recommend that all cleaning schedules should be signed off, with “evidence” that they have been carried out properly and that all cleaning staff have the “necessary” equipment to keep the environment “clean and safe.”
