The prospect and the present scenario of Healthcare Waste Management
No Customer Reviews
A carefully designed survey of Healthcare waste management was undertaken in Noakhali Municipality area, One of the District in Bangladesh. A range of sampling strategies and data gathering techniques were used. The data gathering techniques included observation, formal structured interview and informal dialogue. The shortcomings in the management practices of hospital solid waste in Noakhali were studied by looking at 23 Hospitals and 21 Diagnostic centers as Survey study. Apart from field surveys, the generated hospital waste was weighed to compute the generation rates and was followed through various management practices to the final disposal. The findings revealed a major policy implementation gap between the national government and the hospitals. While modern practices such as landfill and incineration are not used widely, their daily operations were not carried according to minimum standards. Healthcare waste is openly dumped and wastes are burned on landfills instead of being covered with soil. The incinerators used(One Hospital) are also not environmentally friendly as they store wastes over a month to incinerate.
