ANY QUESTIONS?
Waste Types (based on survey of 5 centers)
Infectious Waste: Body tissues, Blood soaked cotton and gauze pieces and body fluids
Infectious Plastic: Disposable syringes, tubings, IV bottles and gloves
Sharps: Broken glasses and metal sharps like scalpels and needles
Average quantity of bio-medical waste/bed/day: 0.075- 0.1Kg
II. General Waste: Packaging material & food waste
Exisiting Practices Waste Segregation:
•Waste is generally mixed in a single bin/bag.
•In some districts waste is being segregated into different categories.
Waste collection and storage:
•Open bins and drums.
•Bins are not bagged.
•Spills on floor at the time of generation.
•No regular pattern of waste collection and the waste is collected as and when required.
Segregation at Source
Existing Practices
Waste Transportation:•Waste is transported manually from point of generation to final treatment/disposal site.
•No protective gears are provided to the health care workers.
•No immunization/accident reporting.
Waste Treatment:
No specific waste treatment pattern is followed except in 2 cases.
Existing PracticesWaste Disposal: Open dumping of waste around the health
care facilities
Open burning of waste
Scavenging of waste by waste sorters and animals
Furnaces for burning of waste in some PHCs
In facilities near urban areas waste is being carried by centralized facility
Treatment and disposal methods observed:
• Encapsulation.
• Pit Disposal.
• Needle Devices – Destroyers/ cutters. • Small autoclaves.
Deep Burial Pit
Interventions possible•Incorporating waste mgmt. into housekeeping and infection control.
•Raising occupational safety awareness.
•Training and capacity building for better
segregation.
•Resolving transport issues (onsite/offsite
decisions)•Incorporating safe-easy to use, low operating cost technologies
