Bloody hell…the horror
Horrifying.
disgusting
The cost of a disposable needle will be payed through human lives. Greatness u see….
They… Reuse syringes in Pakistan? Sweet baby Jesus.
Holy fuck
How the fuck does a hospital fuck up this badly?
My goodness, i did not want to hear/read this horrible nightmare.
this is beyond negligence thats a whole system failing kids , in a worst possible way
That is fucking tragic
Not only is this completely inexcusable the shear volume of children infected is astounding. No reuse of needles should happen in a hospital, ever. But to re use the same needle to cause spread of infection to 331 known cases is beyond comprehension.
Disgusting, this is criminal negligence .
This had to be a resource issue. I don’t care if you went to the worst university on earth, no trained medical professional was doing this for funsies.
One disposable syringe costs 20 Pakistani Rupees ($0.072). Current conversion: 1 USD = 278.85 Pakistani Rupees. Why is no one being held accountable for this?
1 time accidentally using the same needle is a monumental fuckup. using 331 time a used needle is more than a monumental fuck up, its just plain psychopath behavior. and who knows how many times they did this. thousands? tens of thousands? the whole system is compromised when such a basic and extremely important procedure goes south.
Remember that time a Chinese baby milk company used known toxic ingredients in their formula to bulk up the product and increase profits? Thousands of babies got hospitalised and 6 died.
Two people were executed and several others received life sentences as a result of this. Same thing needs to happen here.
„Despite the evidence, hospital authorities have denied wrongdoing. Medical superintendent Dr Qasim Buzdar questioned the authenticity of the footage, suggesting it may have been staged or recorded before his tenure. He insisted infection control remains a top priority.“
Bro sounds like he graduated from Trump U
Last week I was talking to a friend about having read an article a few years ago about ~500 infected from needle use in Pakistan, and now this article pops up. Horrible. Inexcusable for this to happen multiple times.
Didn’t this happen in Romania years ago? They used the same syringe for childhood vaccinations or something and started a HIV epidemic among children.
Super criminal. The people who are responsible for the decision to allow this should never see the light of day again. I am wondering how any of the kids died though since HIV is pretty treatable these days
Don’t worry the Pakistan leadership is busy trying to bring peace to the middle east…
Good lord. What is this, 1982? I mean Pakistan isn’t some barely functional place like Somalia. They have doctors with degrees and training that work in modern hospitals with international level safety standards. WTF.
BBC World Service on YT posted a documentary on this today for anyone interested and it is shocking. They have a desk with a couple open cardboard boxes and they’re just putting used needles in the boxes with no gloves and rummaging around in there, leaving used needles on the desk.. Injecting through clothes.
Damn, this is beyond horrible at this day and age.
I must have doomscrolled enough shit for the rest of year and yet more are coming.
Now use the same syringe on people making the decision to reuse the syringe.
Syringes are seriously not an expensive item. Especially in bulk purchase, such as hospitals do.
>The footage also showed staff administering injections without gloves, leaving used needles on countertops, and failing to properly dispose of medical waste. Parents reported witnessing syringes being reused across multiple patients, further underscoring concerns over systemic lapses.
Seems to be less about money, more about people not being trained even a little. I once had a dead end job packing cosmetics and even for that I used gloves. What on earth.
