A member asked:

How can i make people who visit my child in the hospital wash their hands?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Tell them: Plain and simple. Everyone that comes into contact with your child needs to clean their hands. If they don.T, then don't let them touch your child. That includes all health care workers.
