It is essential that all medical waste materials have to be segregated at the point of generation, appropriately treated and disposed of safety.
Abstract Medical waste is all waste material generated in health care facilities, such as hospitals, clinics, physician’s offices, dental practices, blood banks, and veterinary hospitals/ clinics, as well as medical research facilities and laboratories. Poor management of health care waste potentially exposes health care workers, waste handlers, patients and the community at large to infection, toxic effects and injuries, and risks polluting the environment. It is essential that all medical waste materials have to be segregated at the point of generation, appropriately treated and disposed of safety.
