Whose dirty hands put medical linen on cost-cut cleaning cycle?

AN INVESTIGATION BY BEIJING NEWS has exposed two laundries washing hospital linen in Nanchang, Jiangxi province, ignore the proper procedure of high-temperature sterilization, which is compulsory in the industry. China Youth Daily comments:

The report also shows the compulsory classified laundry, which requires washing used linens from different departments of a hospital separately, is completely ignored as the laundry workers wash all the dirty linens from a hospital together, including bloody medical linens which are mixed with other sheets and patient clothing irrespective of which departments they are from.

All these malpractices are caused by the laundry owners' greed, as well as the poor supervision of the public health, industrial and market administrative departments, and the silence of the hospitals.
