Safe Injection Practices

Safe Injection Practices refer to guidelines and procedures aimed at preventing infections and ensuring the safety of patients during injections. Key components include using sterile equipment, such as needles and syringes, properly cleaning the skin before the injection, and never sharing needles. Health care providers also follow strict hygiene protocols, such as washing hands and wearing gloves. These practices are essential to minimize the risk of infections, reduce the chance of complications, and ensure that injections are given safely and effectively in both clinical and home settings.
