The directions were issued to all Chief Medical Officers (CMOs) in the state to ensure implementation, Haryana Health minister Anil Vij said here.

"During inspection of different hospitals in the state, complaints were received that bed-sheets in government hospitals were not being changed regularly, which led to greater risk of infection," the minister pointed out.
