In a communication to UĦM, the Ministry of Health has reverted its position back and all the equipment used for patient’s toe-nail services will now be sterilized and packed individually to safeguard the patients’ well-being.

 

 

Compromised patient service due to the lack of equipment and health & safety practices in hospital, community and primary care settings

Both UHM and APM through a joint statement would like to notify the public that due to long standing critical issues including lack of instruments in specific health centers and compromised health & safety for both patients and clinicians, the union has issued a preventive measure so that toe- nail care services offered by Podiatrists in clinical and hospital settings are stopped with immediate effect on grounds of health & safety.
