MMWR Morb Mortal Wkly Rep 2018 67 (4) 135-136 Cambodians receive 0.8–5.9 therapeutic injections per person per year, one of the highest reported rates worldwide (1,2). Appropriate medical injections and infusions can be health sustaining or lifesaving; however, improper administration can have detrimental health consequences, including infectious disease transmission (3).
