With support from @GE_Foundation @SPECT_intl & @assistintl, 20 #sterileprocessingstaff from 10 hospitals in Tanzania are spending this week learning new techniques in this “forgotten space”.One outstanding challenge is availability of supplies.#investinspdtoo

Working with 10 Ugandan hospitals. 2/10 have functioning sterilizers. 0/10 have sterility indicators. Similar results found in 13 other LMIC’s. Q for NGO’s providing training on the @WHO #surgicalsafetychecklist: how is #safesurgery achieved without sterility assurance?

Before & After Never lies. The need for Sterile Processing education is hugeeee yet under funded.Poorly reprocessed instruments cause so many infections #stopinfections #sterilizationrocks
