A CCTV reporter who signed up for classes witnessed practical sessions held in the conference room of a hotel, and saw students being teamed off in pairs and encouraged to inject each other in unhygienic conditions.
There was no sterilisation equipment or emergency medical facilities in the room, and many students had blood spots on their face after the injections.
Students did not change their gloves after they were used to performing other tasks. Some students even used their bare hands, without disinfection, to draw on faces and then administer injections.
They hurt too much!
The trainees were told to inject into their peers' nose, chin, forehead, corner of eyes and temples. Their teachers gave them only brief reminders of where the nerves lay on the face.
