[The communal hygiene problems of hospital institutions].

Abstract

The study covers 17 hospitals on the territory of the Capital Community, including their clinics, departments and rooms for treating of social significant and other diseases. The analysis reveals a number of negative aspects: inappropriate situation, insufficiency or lack of green areas, unfavourable aspect of the rooms, overcrowding, insufficient area of the windows, irrational heating regime, lack of ventilation regime, etc. Undesirable parameters of the microclimate are observed in the patients' rooms and this leads to discomfort to the patients and prolonging of the convalescent period. A study on a large scale for the town of Sofia is presented which aims at revision of the current building norms and requirements in respect of their correction and the improving the future building of hospitals in our country.
