Absolutely. Yes, I think there are a lot of problems with hospital infrastructure in Canada.
For 30 years now we've had Canadian Standards Association recommendations that there not be any rooms in any hospitals in Canada where there is more than one patient or there is less than one toilet per patient, because we know that being in the same environment and, particularly, sharing the same washroom facilities, is a risk of transmission of a wide variety of pathogens: in particular, gram-negative organisms. These are bacteria that live in our gut, that cause a wide variety of infections and that in fact are one of the chief concerns when we think about antimicrobial resistance.
