Question

Biomedical waste management hypothesis

Answer 1

Biomedical waste must be properly managed and disposed of to protect the environment, general public and workers, especially healthcare and sanitation workers who are at risk of exposure to biomedical waste as an occupational hazard. Steps in the management of biomedical waste include generation, accumulation, handling, storage, treatment, transport and disposal.[3]

The development and implementation of a national waste management policy can improve biomedical waste management in health facilities in a country[4]
