Dr. Taslim Alvi, Professor and Head Department of
Anesthesiology at Hamdard University Hospital performing the Otsuka
monthly lucky draw held at Otsuka Head office on June 24, 2009.
Speaking at the occasion Prof. Taslim Alvi said that pricking of I.V
infusion bottle is a very common practice in our hospitals. It needs
strict measures to stop this practice which is mostly done by nurses and
para medics. Healthcare providers are always at high risk of getting
hepatitis B or C due to needle stick injuries. Ethical practices and
emphasis on prevention of the diseases are important to prevent
hepatitis and other communicable diseases. Medical Professionals must
follow standard operating protocol which will help them to protect
themselves from getting infected. Separate educational programs for Para
medics must be organized which will help save many precious lives.
Screening of patients should be a routine practice in our hospitals
which will also help to prevent different infectious diseases, she
added. She urged the owners of the hospitals to purchase quality
products which will be a great service for the patients.
Earlier Mr. Muhammad Arshad Khan, stated that we in Otsuka are playing
our role for the betterment of our society. On the Word Hepatitis Day
and International Nurses Day which was observed last month, Otsuka
Pakistan actively participated and organized various activities for
Nurses to pay tributes to the noble profession of Nursing in Pakistan. A
presentation on needle stick and glass Ampule injuries were prepared for
this occasion which was highly appreciated by the participants. Mr.
Khalid Munir informed the participants that every month about six to
seven educational programes for the medical professional are being
organized by Otsuka in various parts of the country which includes,
lectures, round table discussions and film shows.
