“To ensure that this is not only today’s exercise, we have deliberately constituted an Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) and WASH committee to regularly spearhead this agenda so that all hospital premises are clean and safe at all times and make sure that cleaning materials are always available,” Kawalala said.
She further asked for collaborative effort among hospital users to make sure the hospital is always kept clean by not littering anyhow.
