Hepatitis Outbreak due to Unsafe Medical Practices

Considering the multiple ways on how one might get infected with hepatitis b, there also seems to be some connection on nurses/doctor-patient care which might expose patients to these communicable diseases.

There are multiple incidence where doctors, nurses and anesthesiologists were reported to have inadvertently exposed patients to these types of diseases due to unsafe medical practices like the reuse of syringes and other medical devices.

We know that used, and disposable medical devises such as syringes should not in any way, be reused for the purpose of cost-savings practices or any other reasons so to speak. Read what American Association of Nurse Anesthetists (AANA) has to say regarding this issue.
