Abstract AR
The present study took place over the period of one year, starting in autumn 2002 and ending in summer 2003 on the Medical Research Institute Hospital (MRIH).
This work was conducted with the aim of evaluating sanitary conditions of MRIH.
Concerning possible sources of nuisances outside and inside the hospital, there are several street vendors around the hospital and two groceries.
Also, there are some refuse containers that could be sources of flies and cockroaches, apart from stray dogs and cats around the hospital.
Regarding the tap water quality in the hospital, the residual chlorine level ranged between 0.2 to 0.6 mg / l in all samples around the year.
The values were mostly in compliance with the permissible limits (0.5-0.2 mg / l).
Microbiological examination of the water revealed the absence of colony forming units (CFU / ml) in most of the hospital units, except for the operation room where PC reached 20 CFU / ml in spring and summer, but never exceeded 50 CFU / ml, the maximum allowed CFU / ml in any water sample according to the WHO and the Egyptian standards.
Total coliforms were not detected in any of the drinking water samples all around the year.
As regards the hospital solid waste generation rate, it was found that 34.3 % of the hospital waste was clinical waste, while 65.7 % was domestic waste ; and the total waste generation rate was 1.2 kg / patient / day.
