A huge number of people around the world get injectable drugs every year for various reasons. Pakistan is one of the world's leading countries for injection drugs. The spread of infectious diseases through unsafe injection practices has been a global concern.
LIFT (Focused Learning of Injection Technique) – an effort, in partnership with Sanofi Pakistan, to provide residents and emergency medical practitioners a platform where they learn about safe injection practices and procedures leading to the reduction of diseases caused by unsafe practices and medical errors. 40 doctors, who serve in tertiary hospitals in different parts of Pakistan, were selected for this training. They were educated about emergency practitioners' roles and responsibilities in the evolving complexities of emergency premises and their increasing demand for mobility and sensitivity while reducing the damage and minor injuries associated with emergency treatment protocols.
The training began with educational sessions focusing on three core areas: emergency care, abdominal examination and injection technology. Learners were then divided into groups for four stations; Acute abdominal examination, Difficult cannulation, Intramuscular (IM) injection administration and Basic life support refresher. This training will help learners improve drug administration overall outcomes, patient safety by following safe practices, protocols and guidelines taught in this training.
