Ask AI: Hospitals and healthcare facilities can function without support service workers. True or False?

False. Hospitals and healthcare facilities cannot function effectively without support service workers. These workers, including roles such as janitors, food service staff, maintenance personnel, and administrative staff, play crucial roles in maintaining the cleanliness, safety, and overall operation of healthcare facilities. They ensure that the environment is sanitary, that meals are prepared for patients, that equipment is maintained, and that administrative tasks are handled, all of which are essential for the effective delivery of healthcare services. Without support service workers, the quality of care and the efficiency of operations would be significantly compromised.
