According to newspapper “Polska - The Times” Polish hospitals are organic bomb. Many hospitals in Poland do not have a sewage treatment plant. They flush hospital sewage straight into the public sewerage network. Biological and organic hospital wastes are full of HIV, hepatitis, mycobacteria tuberculosis, coliform and any other mutations of viruses resistant to antibiotics. According to WHO, there are reported cases of hepatitis infection straight from the sewerage network.
In 1997 the legislation was introduced, under which each hospital had to treat its sewage before flushing it to the public sewerage network, but due to the general poverty of the hospitals in Poland the legislation was limited to the hospitals with infectious diseases ward. So far no one has executed that legislation.
