Can you imagine life saving agencies can be a source of infection spread......if not, start imagine from today and be aware of life threatening source of diseases from hospital wastes thrown openly in the grounds or in open areas behind hospitals without following any protocol of waste disposal and without realizing the sensitivity of biowaste, biohazardous and biosecurity agents. More interestingly, these waste bioproducts are sometimes collected by local manufacturing companies where it is recycled, or repacked or reslled to us. This cycle of dishonesty and irresponsibility is continuously harming us and we are effectees of re-infection from medical product wastes. Who is responsible ? Who will raise voice ? Who spread awareness ? who will play role ? I present myself now its your turn.... #wastemanagement #hospitalityindustry #healthpolicy #awareness #drshahbazzakki

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), cholera affects millions of people worldwide each year, resulting in tens of thousands of deaths. It is a stark reminder of the critical need for proper sanitation, hygiene, and safe drinking water. By taking proactive measures, we can combat this deadly disease and protect our communities. Let’s all take an active role in the fight against cholera by maintaining proper sanitation and waste disposal, practising good hygiene with frequent hand washing, and being cautious with the food and water we consume. Avoid open defecation and indiscriminate refuse dumping to keep our environment clean. Remember, if you or anyone you know experiences sudden watery diarrhoea, seek medical attention promptly and avoid self-medication. Together, we can protect ourselves and our communities from cholera. Stay safe and healthy! #choleraawareness #choleraoutbreak #cholera
