HOW SAFE IS YOUR HOSPITAL - DOCTOR?

The use of disposable syringes, needles and other 'disposable' items has gained wide popularity in hospital practice. The supposed advantages are ensuring sterility and preventing the spread of infection from patient to patient. However are these aims really being met? In the present state of awareness and disposal procedures being followed we are not achieving aims and it may even be more prudent to go back to the glass syringes with proper autoclaving facilities. Alternatively there is the need to improve the disposal facilities in hospitals for the disposable articles.
