Unauthorized Cleaning of Hospital Material Caught

JOUF: Environmental health authorities in Jouf have discovered a laundry where hospital clothing, bedsheets and equipment were being cleaned without authorization.

Manager of the General Administration of Environmental Health Salim Al-Gunaifith, from the municipality, said they were being cleaned in an unhygienic fashion.

“They didn’t have a license to practice. They don’t hold any health licenses and they violated all regulations that harm the environment and cause pollution,” said Al-Gunaifith. Cracking down on such hazardous activities eliminates the spread of diseases, he added. Al-Gunaifith warned all hospitals to abide by environmental health rules and not to make any arrangements with laundries unless authorized by the municipality.
