Global public-health record · Data / research
The WHO report that placed occupational sharps injuries on a global evidence map.
This exhibit preserves the World Health Organization’s burden-of-disease assessment for sharps injuries among health-care workers. It establishes the report as a public-health context source for the Puncture record, rather than treating a historical estimate as a current real-time count.
What this exhibit supports
This source supports the existence of a WHO burden-of-disease assessment for occupational sharps injuries among health-care workers.
Limits of the record
Its estimates reflect the publication’s methodology and period; they should not be presented as a current real-time count.
Reading note
Read the WHO publication directly for its methodology, scope, and reporting period. This exhibit identifies what the assessment supports and retains the publication’s time-bound limitations.
