GMCH Superintendent Dr. Abhijit Sarma announced the new system on microblogging site X on January 27, sharing images of a Monday-marked bedsheet as an example of the hospital’s structured approach to hygiene management.
“We have implemented colour coding with weekdays for patients’ beds in GMCH, Dr. Sarma posted.
The initiative was inspired by a January 21 post by Dr. Jitumoni on X, who highlighted the Kerala government hospitals’ practice of printing the day on bedsheets to maintain hygiene.
Acknowledging the idea, Dr. Sarma responded, “That’s a very good idea. In GMCH, we have color-coded bed sheets. But Kerala models look better.”
