             join p in ctx.products on ent.prodId equals p.prodId
             join h in ctx.hospitals on ent.hospId equals h.hospId
             join c in ctx.contactPersons on ent.contId equals c.contId
             where ent.empId == Globals.empId

try something like:

var query = (from ent in ctx.entries
             where ent.empId = Globals.empId
             && ctx.Products.Any(a => a.prodId == ent.prodId)
             && ctx.hospitals.Any(a => a.hospId == ent.hospId)
             && ctx.contactPersons.Any(a => a.contId == ent.contId)
             select ent).ToList();
