This paper describes experience with a low-cost initiative for safe collection and disposal of hypodermic needles in health facilities in developing countries. Produced locally, a purpose-made container for collecting 500-1000 used hypodermic needles should cost no more than 20-50 US cents. Trial in our immunization clinic and injection room for the last year has shown its potential for injection safety generally and particularly during immunization campaigns.
本文介绍了在发展中国家的医疗机构中开展的一项低成本倡议，旨在安全收集和处理皮下注射针头。一种专门设计的用于收集500至1000个用过的皮下注射针头的容器在当地生产，成本不应超过20至50美分。去年在我们的免疫诊所和注射室进行的试验表明，该容器在总体注射安全方面，尤其是在免疫接种活动期间，具有很大潜力。
