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 World Health Organization (WHO) #surgicalsafetychecklist: how is #safesurgery achieved without sterility assurance?

Stopped by @CureUganda to see the #sterileprocessing team in action. Wonderful work CURE International!
