According to the information, the hospital authority is providing poor laundry service to the patients. The clothes like bed sheets and blankets supplied to the patients are not properly washed. Moreover, some bed sheets are not changed for 2-3 days. Even there are unconfirmed reports that some patients from rural areas are provided with clothes already used by other patients.
