Subject: Urgent Attention Required: Unhygienic Conditions in Maternity Ward due to contamination coming from Blood Bank Canteen.

Respected Sir/Madam,

With due respect, I wish to bring to your immediate notice a serious health and hygiene concern affecting the patients in the *Maternity Ward*, which appears to be directly linked to the *Blood Bank Canteen.*

On multiple occasions, patients, attendants, and others have observed many critical issues that came from the said Canteen

1. Foul odor frequently emanating from the canteen area, making flies and rodents frequently entering the adjacent maternity ward.  

2. Improper waste disposal– used food containers, spoiled edibles, and liquid waste are often left uncovered near the ward entrance, attracting insects and causing spillage into patient areas.  

3. A Direct risk to  vulnerable patients– newborn infants and postpartum mothers in the maternity ward are exposed to this unhygienic food substances odor and foul smell. Sometimes the smell of chillies coming from the canteen causes lots of disturbance for the patient near them.

These mere conditions violate the basic hospital hygiene protocols and pose a *grave risk of all hospital staff and Patients included,* particularly dangerous for immunocompromised new mothers and neonates.  

I personally kindly urge your esteemed office to kindly investigate or kindly pose a way to the closure of the said Blood Bank Canteen in order to give a fresh surroundings to the patients admitted. Your prompt intervention will help safeguard the health of mothers and newborns under your care.  

Thank you for your attention to this urgent matter.
