In an odd twist of professional negligence, many doctors in Kenya expose their patients to new infections right inside the hospitals where patients go to seek cure. A big number of the doctors in the country rarely wash their hands after touching patients, even after coming into contact with bodily fluids.
A study by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention reveals that six out of seven medical personnel do not wash their hands properly after touching a patient. Such disregard of simple medical procedures leaves many patients at the risk of acquiring new infections during visits to the doctor.
