What is the current state of the law regarding unhygienic conditions in hospital?

MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from Darnell v. Pineiro, 849 F.3d 17 (2nd Cir. 2017):

"[C]onditions of confinement may be aggregated to rise to the level of a constitutional violation, but only when they have a mutually enforcing effect that produces the deprivation of a single, identifiable human need such as food, warmth, or exercise. " Walker , 717 F.3d at 125 (quoting Wilson v. Seiter , 501 U.S. 294, 304, 111 S.Ct. 2321, 115 L.Ed.2d 271 (1991) ). Unsanitary conditions, especially when coupled with other mutually enforcing conditions, such as poor ventilation and lack of hygienic items (in particular, toilet paper), can rise to the level of an objective deprivation. See id. at 12728 (collecting cases).
