UMTH: Keeping The Surroundings Clean and Neat, Confer Cleaners At Work
By: Balami Lazarus
Surroundings are made out of the larger environment. Therefore, the environment is part of our surroundings, either homes or institutional surroundings.
Indeed, surroundings need care—care of keeping them clean and neat both inside and outside. I recalled my health science at primary school, where we were taught basic personal health habits. Further lessons of the subject are hygiene and keeping our surroundings clean.
For this reason, NEWSng thought it wise in her recent visit to University of Maiduguri Teaching Hospital (UMTH) to bring to the fore the cleanness, neatness, and beauty of her surroundings. The hospital is said to be one of the cleanest medical facilities in Maiduguri. “The hospital surroundings are very clean. In fact, not only the outside but also the inside. Our offices, conveniences, and other facilities are properly maintained and kept clean and neat.”
Most times public facilities are worse hit by negligence, where those assigned to care for and maintain those facilities and its surroundings are at times not aware that good, healthy, and clean surroundings facilitate good health and increased human capacity in productivity of goods and services.
Hospitals like UMTH are where you breathe and inhale fresh, clean air full of fragrance. It has made patients and visitors feel at home with green, clean, and neat surroundings.
Testimonies from visitors to the hospital show that apart from its surroundings, wards and offices are kept clean. “My first impression is the clean and neat surroundings of the hospital,” said Mr. Pius Okolobe. Wards are always swept and mopped constantly to maintain hygiene every other day.
Confer Cleaners Limited, the company behind the clean surroundings of UMTH, acknowledged the fact that they are happy with the leadership of Prof. Ahmed Ahidjo, the Chief Medical Director, for appreciating their good works for keeping the hospital surroundings clean and neat.
In order to improve the beauty of the hospital surroundings, water fountains, parks, and gardens are part of her beautifications, making it conducive for patients, staff, and visitors to feel comfortable in the ambiances of cleanness and neatness.
Notwithstanding, Confer Cleaners should improve on other areas of the hospital—Medical College and School of Nursing hostels, among other places that need to be clean and kept neat.
The challenges faced by Confer Cleaners Limited are basically the lack of adequate incinerators within the hospital surroundings. “We are in dear need of incinerators to aid in our cleaning businesses; dirt and refuse are dumped and burnt,” said one cleaner.
