    - Doctors and nurses were interviewed about injection and syringe use and disposal practices at a clinic, hospital, and medical laboratory. On average, 10-12 syringes are used per day at the clinic, 4-5 at one clinic, and 20-25 at the hospital. Patients are generally aware of safe disposal practices. Reusing syringes for multiple patients is never done. Used syringes are disposed of daily in puncture-proof containers according to standard protocols. Diseases that can be transmitted through unsafe injections include HIV and hepatitis. Single-use auto-destructive syringes are considered safe and easy to use.

    Original Description:
