The SafePoint Trust

Marc Koska invented the K1 in 1996, the first auto-disabled syringe that physically prevents re-use by locking the plunger in place after the first use. Marc created the non-profit The SafePoint Trust in 2006 with the goal of aligning all actors in the healthcare system around safe injections. Though effective advocacy and research efforts, The SafePoint Trust catapulted safe injections to the top of the international health agenda. In February 2015, the WHO announced a new global policy on injection safety.
