Student nurses shouldn't be taught that Operation Transformation is an example of a positive public health intervention.
There's no evidence that it is & plenty of both theory and evidence to show that it's very harmful. It shouldn't be used as an example in nursing lectures.

They never will be able to control the queues that form on walk-in days, because they're not scheduled.
