Description
Tanusha Singh and Kundai Mavis Makozho survey infection control among dental workers in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe, in a 2026 study. Dental work sprays blood and saliva, and sharp tools add risk. In low-resource settings, how often workers get stuck or infected is poorly tracked.
Among 220 dental staff, more than six in ten reported a sharps injury at some point in their career, and about one in seven in the past year. Nearly one in five had caught an infection at work. Staff knew the core safety rules well, yet exposure stayed common. Newer workers faced the highest risk of a recent injury.
