title: The manufacture of surgical instruments: what nurses can do about child labour.
abstract: Do you use instruments produced by companies using child labour? Approximately 7,700 child workers help to produce surgical instruments in Sialkot, Pakistan. These instruments end up in the hands of nurses and doctors in thousands of hospitals and clinics around the world. Paul Germanotta of Public Services International reports on the problem and what nurses and nursing organisations can do to help end exploitation of child workers.
