1 - Introduction

Medical treatment is anticipated to save life and improve patients’ health. It is the responsibility of all health care workers to prevent transmission of blood borne infections caused by injection practice. Adherence to safe injection practices and related infection control implementations is part of that responsibility; it protects patients and health care workers.
