A new report on Mayo General Hospital in Castlebar, Ireland, has revealed a range of failings, including a lack of basic infection control measures to protect patients from invasive aspergillosis, according to an article on the Independent website.
Inspectors said that during the May 2016 inspection there was a lack of basic control measures to prevent the invasive aspergillosis associated with construction and renovation works in the orthopaedic ward.
Doors that separated the main ward corridor from external soil excavation work were not closed.
Dust generated by internal renovation work was visible on the ward corridor and an adjacent stairwell.
