The British Medical Journal recently conducted a poll of over 11,000 people were arrested thoughts on 16 medical breakthroughs chosen by imminent medical scientists.   In a rather surprising outcome, the most popular choice was "sanitation"  

Despite huge strides in improving sanitation in recent years, it was believed that more than a million people died in 2001 as a result of a lack of sanitation.   We now have a situation in some of our hospitals in the UK where a lack of hygiene and general sanitation is thought to be responsible for the surge in MRSA related infections. 

Many hospitals have good standards of hygiene, but sadly there are some examples of extremely poor levels of hygiene where bugs and related infections are thought to be rife.   If you have suffered a medical infection whilst in hospital and wish to inquire about a medical negligence claim, please contact our helpline for immediate advice.
