Saudi health authorities intend to punish a cleaning company after a film published on social media showed a government hospital contracting with that firm is infested with cockroaches, a newspaper reported on Sunday.

The film, published by Sharq daily, showed swarms of cockroaches filling the corridors and other places in Turbah Hospital in the Western town of Taif.

The paper quoted health department spokesman Aidah Al Hadli as saying investigation into the case has shown that the company has staff problems.

"This explains the poor hygienic and cleanliness conditions at that hospital…as a result, we intend to take measures, which will include terminating the contract with that company and awarding it to a qualified firm," he said.
