The workshop seeks to raise awareness among patients and healthcare providers about safe injection practices, which are critical to the overall safety of healthcare delivery.
Speaking at the workshop, Dr Rohini Paul, Bangalore cluster Nursing Head for Aster Hospitals said, “The goal of the conference is to make sure that patients are protected each time they receive an injectable medication. Through targeted education and awareness efforts, the campaign empowered healthcare providers to insist on nothing less than safe injections—every time, for every patient. The conference is intended to train the nurses to administer the injections safely, how to do the same with zero error and also discarding the used syringes and needles safely. More than 750 Nurses working in different hospitals are empowered with knowledge to administer injections safely through this workshop. Certificates were awarded to all participants.”
