Healthier Procurement: Improvements to working conditions for surgical instrument manufacture in Pakistan
One category of goods with significant human rights risk is the production of surgical
instruments. Thousands of surgical instruments are used every day in operations
throughout Sweden and the UK, and a proportion of these instruments are produced
in the city of Sialkot, in north-eastern Pakistan. Although Pakistan has ratified all
eight International Labour Organisation Core Conventions, labour rights abuse in the
country is still widespread.
