Injections are one of the most common
health care procedures, with some 16 billion injections
administered world-wide each year. Most injections (90 to 95
percent) are given for therapeutic purposes, and only 5 to
10 percent are given for immunization. Injections are often
unnecessary and are frequently unsafe. Unsafe injections are
responsible for millions of cases of Hepatitis B and C, and
an estimated one quarter of a million cases of HIV annually.
Re-use of injection equipment without sterilization is
frequently a key problem. Unsafe injections are responsible
for millions of cases of Hepatitis B and C, and an estimated
one-quarter of a million cases of HIV annually. |
