A survey was conducted during August-October 1981, to assess the need for disinfectant policy for the Port Moresby General Hospital. Data collected revealed confusion amongst the nursing staff regarding the correct use of various detergents and disinfectants, an unacceptably high incidence of post-operative infections, evidence of poor general cleaning of the hospital and evidence of contamination of the distilled water supply in the Central Sterilizing Department by Pseudomonas species. There is an urgent need for the formation of a committee to advise and promote a disinfectant policy for the hospital, to ensure that this is followed by nursing and cleaning staff and to establish continuous surveillance of hygiene standards within the hospital.
1981年8月至10月期间进行了一项调查，以评估莫尔斯比港总医院消毒政策的必要性。收集到的数据显示，护理人员对各种洗涤剂和消毒剂的正确使用存在困惑，术后感染发生率高得令人无法接受，有证据表明医院整体清洁状况不佳，以及中央消毒部门的蒸馏水供应被假单胞菌属污染。迫切需要成立一个委员会，为医院提供消毒政策方面的建议并推动该政策实施，确保护理和清洁人员遵守该政策，并对医院内的卫生标准进行持续监测。
