NMC warns of HIV, hepatitis risk from unsafe injections NEW DELHI: Alarmed by the possibility of patients contracting HIV and viral hepatitis through unsafe medical procedures, the National Medical Commission (NMC) has directed medical colleges across the country to tighten injection safety practices, warning that such infections are entirely preventable but can occur when basic safeguards are ignored.In a nationwide advisory, the medical education regulator said unsafe injection practices can lead to outbreaks of blood-borne infections, including HIV, Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C, and asked institutions to ensure strict compliance with infection prevention and control norms.The Commission has ordered all medical colleges to use only sterile, single-use needles and syringes and strictly prohibit their reuse under any circumstances. It has also directed hospitals to strengthen hand hygiene practices and ensure proper segregation and disposal of injection-related waste.Calling patient safety a “non-negotiable mandate”, the NMC said there should be zero tolerance for practices such as syringe reuse, unsafe vial sharing, recapping of needles and improper disposal of sharps.The advisory assumes significance as India administers millions of injections every day across public and private healthcare facilities. Public health experts have long warned that even a single lapse in injection safety can expose multiple patients to potentially life-threatening infections.To reduce risks further, the NMC has advised medical colleges to progressively adopt safety-engineered auto-disable syringes that cannot be reused. Institutions have also been asked to conduct periodic training and competency assessments for healthcare workers handling injections and other invasive procedures.The regulator has directed hospitals to report needle-stick injuries and any cluster of infections for investigation. Hospital authorities have also been asked to ensure post-exposure prophylaxis for healthcare workers as per National AIDS Control Organisation (NACO) guidelines and conduct regular audits through infection-control teams.The advisory underscores growing concern among health authorities that preventable healthcare-associated infections continue to pose a threat to patient safety and that strict adherence to standard protocols remains the most effective defence against transmission of blood-borne diseases.About the AuthorAnuja JaiswalAnuja Jaiswal is a Senior Assistant Editor at The Times of India, with an impressive 18-year career in narrative journalism.

NEW DELHI: While breast and lung cancers are among the most common cancers in India, Kashmir is facing a distinct cancer burden, with stomach cancer emerging as a major concern. Alarmed by the high prevalence of gastrointestinal cancers in the Valley, the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) has launched a special initiative to strengthen cancer screening, early diagnosis and treatment in Jammu & Kashmir.India records more than 14 lakh cancer cases every year, and Jammu & Kashmir reported over 67,000 cancer cases between 2018 and 2024. According to ICMR, gastrointestinal cancers, particularly stomach cancer, are highly prevalent in the Kashmir Valley, followed by oesophageal and colorectal cancers.To address the growing burden, ICMR has invited research teams from Jammu & Kashmir to develop and test a model for large-scale cancer prevention and screening through the public healthcare system. The initiative will focus on oral, breast, cervical and gastrointestinal cancers.Under the programme, adults aged 40 years and above will be screened for gastrointestinal cancers, women aged 30 years and above for breast cancer, sexually active women aged 30-60 years for cervical cancer, and adults aged 18 years and above for oral cancer. Screening will be carried out through district hospitals, community health centres, primary health centres and Ayushman Arogya Mandirs.Dr Rommel Tickoo, senior director, internal medicine, Max hospital, Saket, said Jammu & Kashmir continues to face a high burden of stomach, oesophageal and colorectal cancers due to a combination of traditional dietary practices, Helicobacter pylori infection, tobacco use, genetic susceptibility and changing lifestyles such as obesity and physical inactivity. He stressed that early detection through timely screening, particularly among people over 40 and those with risk factors, can significantly improve survival and help reduce cancer-related deaths in the region.A major focus will be on improving screening coverage, ensuring early diagnosis and linking people who test positive to treatment services. The programme will also involve healthcare workers and communities to encourage participation in cancer prevention and screening.The four-year project aims to develop an evidence-based model for prevention, screening, early diagnosis and treatment that can be integrated into the National Programme for Prevention and Control of Non-Communicable Diseases (NP-NCD) and potentially scaled up across Jammu & Kashmir.About the AuthorAnuja JaiswalAnuja Jaiswal is a Senior Assistant Editor at The Times of India, with an impressive 18-year career in narrative journalism.

NEW DELHI: Alarmed by the possibility of patients contracting HIV and viral hepatitis through unsafe medical procedures, the National Medical Commission (NMC) has directed medical colleges across the country to tighten injection safety practices, warning that such infections are entirely preventable but can occur when basic safeguards are ignored.In a nationwide advisory, the medical education regulator said unsafe injection practices can lead to outbreaks of blood-borne infections, including HIV, Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C, and asked institutions to ensure strict compliance with infection prevention and control norms.The Commission has ordered all medical colleges to use only sterile, single-use needles and syringes and strictly prohibit their reuse under any circumstances. It has also directed hospitals to strengthen hand hygiene practices and ensure proper segregation and disposal of injection-related waste.Calling patient safety a “non-negotiable mandate”, the NMC said there should be zero tolerance for practices such as syringe reuse, unsafe vial sharing, recapping of needles and improper disposal of sharps.The advisory assumes significance as India administers millions of injections every day across public and private healthcare facilities. Public health experts have long warned that even a single lapse in injection safety can expose multiple patients to potentially life-threatening infections.To reduce risks further, the NMC has advised medical colleges to progressively adopt safety-engineered auto-disable syringes that cannot be reused. Institutions have also been asked to conduct periodic training and competency assessments for healthcare workers handling injections and other invasive procedures.The regulator has directed hospitals to report needle-stick injuries and any cluster of infections for investigation. Hospital authorities have also been asked to ensure post-exposure prophylaxis for healthcare workers as per National AIDS Control Organisation (NACO) guidelines and conduct regular audits through infection-control teams.The advisory underscores growing concern among health authorities that preventable healthcare-associated infections continue to pose a threat to patient safety and that strict adherence to standard protocols remains the most effective defence against transmission of blood-borne diseases.About the AuthorAnuja JaiswalAnuja Jaiswal is a Senior Assistant Editor at The Times of India, with an impressive 18-year career in narrative journalism.

NEW DELHI: Alarmed by the possibility of patients contracting HIV and viral hepatitis through unsafe medical procedures, the National Medical Commission (NMC) has directed medical colleges across the country to tighten injection safety practices, warning that such infections are entirely preventable but can occur when basic safeguards are ignored.In a nationwide advisory, the medical education regulator said unsafe injection practices can lead to outbreaks of blood-borne infections, including HIV, Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C, and asked institutions to ensure strict compliance with infection prevention and control norms.The Commission has ordered all medical colleges to use only sterile, single-use needles and syringes and strictly prohibit their reuse under any circumstances. It has also directed hospitals to strengthen hand hygiene practices and ensure proper segregation and disposal of injection-related waste.Calling patient safety a “non-negotiable mandate”, the NMC said there should be zero tolerance for practices such as syringe reuse, unsafe vial sharing, recapping of needles and improper disposal of sharps.The advisory assumes significance as India administers millions of injections every day across public and private healthcare facilities. Public health experts have long warned that even a single lapse in injection safety can expose multiple patients to potentially life-threatening infections.To reduce risks further, the NMC has advised medical colleges to progressively adopt safety-engineered auto-disable syringes that cannot be reused. Institutions have also been asked to conduct periodic training and competency assessments for healthcare workers handling injections and other invasive procedures.The regulator has directed hospitals to report needle-stick injuries and any cluster of infections for investigation. Hospital authorities have also been asked to ensure post-exposure prophylaxis for healthcare workers as per National AIDS Control Organisation (NACO) guidelines and conduct regular audits through infection-control teams.The advisory underscores growing concern among health authorities that preventable healthcare-associated infections continue to pose a threat to patient safety and that strict adherence to standard protocols remains the most effective defence against transmission of blood-borne diseases.About the AuthorAnuja JaiswalAnuja Jaiswal is a Senior Assistant Editor at The Times of India, with an impressive 18-year career in narrative journalism.
