Audits

Safe Use and disposal of sharps. (Nov 2023)
I found audit to be of most value because I got to learn practice in wards and analyzed that against standard criteria. I got to see the points which hindered the safe practice and thus was able to give recommendations to improve the practice.
I am planning to do audit on sanitation in my health facility in Pakistan as well so it will be very helpful for me to figure out the deficiencies in practicing sanitation.
