英国每三间医院就有两间不合卫生标准
路透社伦敦健康消息 据估计，英国每年有5,000名病人因医院交叉感染而死亡。为了改善医院的卫生状况，英国政府组织负责医院感染控制的护士和病人代表对699间医院进行了检查。
根据《健康服务杂志》的报导，被检查的699间医院中，有250间没有达到基本的卫生标准，291间医院卫生情况欠佳，只有158间医院的卫生情况是令人满意的。检查中发现了肮脏的床单，凌乱的病房，未打扫的垃圾，医院废物以及在外面放了几天的食物盘。
英国卫生部一位发言人说，检查还没有结束，现在还不能说有多少医院没有达到卫生标准。《健康服务杂志》的编辑却认为，这是从699所医院得出的结果，不能忽视它的意义。在那些被查医院中，每三间就有两间医院没有通过检查。
医院管理人员说这个问题是数十年来对国民健康服务支出削减的结果，特别是在医院清洁方面,它对病人护理的影响较难衡量，因而容易被忽视。

UK Survey Finds One Third of Hospitals ‘Unhygienic‘
LONDON (Reuters Health) - More than one third of National Health Service hospitals fail to meet basic hygiene standards, according to survey findings reported in the Health Services Journal.
The survey of 699 hospitals was carried out by infection control nurses and patient representatives as part of a government bid to improve hygiene after researchers estimated that 5,000 patients a year die from infections they catch in British hospitals.

The results showed that 250 hospitals had been graded red, indicating that they did not meet basic sanitation standards, 291 had a yellow intermediary grading, and only 158 were green or satisfactory.
According to the journal, which obtained the figures from the Department of Health, the inspections found dirty linen, untidy wards, uncollected rubbish, clinical waste and food trays left out for days.
In an apparent attempt to minimise the publicity impact, a Department of Health spokesperson said the inspection programme was not finished and it was therefore impossible to say what proportion of hospitals failed to meet hygiene standards.

However, the journal‘s editor, Peter Davies, told Reuters Health, ``This is a sample of 699 hospitals. You cannot brush aside its statistical significance. Two out of three of those hospitals have failed their inspections.‘‘
Conservative health spokesman Dr Liam Fox said, ``These findings are a damning indictment of Health Secretary Alan Milburn. NHS wards remain filthy and a danger to the public.‘‘
Hospital managers say the problem reflects decades of cost-cutting in the National Health Service, especially in areas such as cleaning where the impact on patient care is hard to quantify., 百拇医药
