Needles manually removed from syringes at Pakistan hospital

Needles manually removed from syringes at Pakistan hospital

A hospital in Pakistan called Valika Hospital was checked by the Sindh Healthcare Commission.

They found that nurses were taking needles off syringes by hand and not putting them in special bins for sharp objects.

This is not safe and can spread diseases.

The hospital had a team to prevent infections, but they weren't following all the rules.

Many staff members were not trained properly, and the hospital wasn't disposing of medical waste correctly.

Because of these problems, many children got HIV, and some hospital workers were suspended.

The hospital needs to improve its safety practices to protect patients.
