“Medication and Patient Safety Training: Ensuring Proper Handling and Use of Medications”

Medication and patient safety training was organized under the auspices of the Human Resources department of the IT department at district headquarters hospitals in the library hall. Participants were informed about the safe methods of medication handling, avoiding incorrect use of medications, and ineffective methods. The manager and Dr. Afzalullah Khan, the HR officer, gave detailed lectures. The trainers told the participants of the training session that everyone will face some illness at some point in their lives and medications are taken to prevent or treat diseases. However, certain medications can cause serious harm if stored, prescribed, distributed, or monitored improperly. House officers, nurses, and paramedical staff actively participated in the conducted training. At the end of the training, participants were also awarded honorary certificates.
