Report on HELP-O ActivitiesUnder the Integrated Solid Waste Management System in Panadura Hospital Project

June 2009 – November 2009

Jointly Implemented and byHELP-O & ASIA ONLUS

Project Funded by

Regione Lazio in collaboration with OICS.




Desc r ip t ion o f t he Pro jec t“Panadura is the most populated city of the “Kaluthara District” the population amountis 163,492. – (Population by D.S. Division and sex, Census 2001) this city is closed toColombo and many people live in here and this commercial area. The city has beenspread out within 44 sq km.

The Panadura Base Hospital is the main hospital of the area and one day more than1500 patients are coming to get the treatments. The total patients more than1000 cometo hospital. In last few years this hospital has been facing a huge problem that is thewaste problem. The total waste generation is nearly 520 KG per day. They can’t managethis kind of waste and many massive problems were begun from this waste problem.Some times local authority carries this waste but that is not enough to solve thisproblem. Even they expended much money to LP Gas. Early times they expend morethan Rs.28, 000 for LP Gas.

On that time HELP-O & ASIA ONLUS organizations were involved to solve this matterthrough implementing a proper waste management program. As a first step weconducted a field survey and able to finalize to construct the biogas unit inside of thePanadura Hospital. The capacity of the biogas unit is 22m³ that can dump 500 KGorganic waste per day including conducting many awareness programs which is relatedto biogas unit.

Under this project we expected to distribute the Dustbins and Mobile carts to carry thewaste also we printed some awareness materials like hand bills and posters. Most of

important thing is conducted experience exchange program. Through this programPanadura Hospital staff could able to realize the important of this program in own eyes.After that exchange program they have involved to this program in active way.

This program is a joint work and this is a result of a team work at this moment they arenot giving the organic waste to carry to local authority. The hospital could able to makewaste as a useful resource and they are getting benefits. This is the success story of thePanadura Hospital.

Message f rom St ak eho lde r s

Mr. M arco Baldi – Country Representative ASIA ONLUS

This program was funded by the Regione Lazio in collaborationwith OICS. I want to say this is a result of a good partnershipwith the all stakeholders. We were needed to find a sustainablesolution for the Panadura Hospital Waste problem and HELP-Owith other stakeholders could able to find a sustain solution tothat problem. And hospital has a responsibility to implementthis program continually. During this period many things able toachieved.

Mr. Chathura Welivitiya- Chairman / Chief Executive HELP-O

“First of all I want to say we are the first organization thatimplemented biogas unit in Hospital at Karapitiya Hospital in 2004.This program is still running without any problem and wasteproblem has been minimized.

In this hospital we didn’t constructed a biogas unit and weimplemented a program in this hospital and it has several steps. Weexpect to monitor this program continually. I think this program is

very valuable for the environment as well as for the city. Through this program wewant to give a strong message to the outside world about we can implement successfulwaste management plan in everywhere even in hospital.

Dr. Sagai Kiriwandeniya – M edical Superintendent Panadura Base Hospital

During the past few months we had a big problem about waste thenhopefully we could able to implement this program. The other thingthrough this program we could able to reorganized the hospital

because through this program every person has been changed andthey tried to waste separation in their homes and they feel the benefits of the program also most of people start cultivation. As ahospital we expend much money for the energy but last month weearned Rs.45, 000 from one burner and we got another burner. Ithing this program is suitable for every hospital because many

hospitals are suffering from this and we want to expand our benefits.

Ex e c u t i v e Su m m e r y

This report has been summarizes the program which has been implemented in“Panadura Base Hospital” with the support of AISA ONLUS Organization and HELP-O joint work. This program is been funded from the Regione Lazio in collaboration withOICS. The objective was this program “Provide a sustainable solution for the wasteproblem of Hospital and protect the Environment”. Under this program obtain thegreat achievements one is we could able to solve the waste problem and able tosegregate the waste 100% before dump the biogas unit.

Reduce the LP Gas usage from 50% with in month and get a profit Rs.40, 000 only fromthe LP Gas usage. Early time they didn’t think the waste will become a resource andthey just dump it away. But not it because a very valuable thing to them and theygetting more benefits from the organic waste as well as polythene and plastics. Under

this program we provide a sustain solution for all waste and at this moment they couldfind the buyers for the polythene and plastic waste.

While this program implementing we could able to increase the team work of hospitalthrough the awareness. This waste management program been effective for the patientsof the hospital because they learn the important of waste segregate through thisprogram and other staff waste segregation started on their own home and they haveminimize the polythene and plastic usage as much they can.

As a result of this program many people and private sector is requesting to biogas unitas a sustainable solution of the waste problem. Even Western Province Council has beenagreed to introduce this program to every hospital of the province because they aresuffering this problem.

The hospital expects to establish a fund to maintain this biogas unit continually. Duringthis program implement we could able to increase the links between KarapitiyaHospital and Panadura Hospital through an experience exchange program. Thisstrategy was very effective when we implement this program on ground level becausethey could able to realize the results of the biogas in their own eyes.

Finally we implemented one of success program with the full of support of our all

stakeholders. But we expect to introduce this solution to every place because throughthis program we can achieve many byproducts and it’s very effective to environment aswell as for the attitudes. We believe that construction a biogas is not a sustainablesolution to solve this massive problem and we have to aware them about this and howto maintain this also this should become a property of them then they will protect it andimplement continually.




Bas ic Disc uss ion & Si t e Vi s i t

In beginning of the May 2009 HELP-O staff, ASIAONLUS staff and Panadura Hospital staff conducted a basic discussion and site visit before start thisprogram. During this meeting we collected the basicdate and we analyzed those data. Then we could ableto make some decisions about this program and abouthow to implement this program.

During this meetingable to finalize the contribution of each stake holder andmade a plan for the rest of other activities. On that timewe realize what are the activities should we implement in

future. On that time we aware the Hospital managementand key persons of the propose program. The objective ofthis discussion explains the future program and activitiesto the Hospital and gets their maximum corporation forthis program.

Ex per i ence Ex c hange Program

The one of most important activity of this programis this experience exchange program betweenPanadura and Karapitiaya Hospital. They didn’tknow what is a biogas unit and how its function andwhat are the benefits of the biogas unit. During thisvisit they could able to see the benefits of the biogasunit in their own eyes. During this program alsothey went to see some community biogas units. One

of the mainaspects of the program was aware the beneficiaries

about this program and benefits.This program became one of focal point for successthe program during this visit they realize the groundlevel challenges and biogas function process. Eventhey could able to know about the important of wasteseparation. For this program Doctors, Nurses and

other staff were participated with the officers of ASIA ONLUS Organization.




B i og a s U n it Co n s t r u c t i o n

HELP-O and ASIA ONLUS Organization has been decided to construct a biogas unit as one ofsolution for the organic waste problem of thePanadura Base Hospital. The capacity of the biogas unit is 22m3 that can dump 500 KGorganic waste per day. Early time theyexpended much money for the LP Gas and theyused 36KG 07 LP Gas cylinders only for themonth but now they can use this 07 LP Gascylinder for two months that means they canearn 07 LP Gas cylinders for one month also they able to save more than Rs.40,000

money within a month. Now they are doing good waste sorting system in beginninglevel and every ward wise also we provided mobile waste collection carts to carry thewaste in easy way. They can get the maximumefficiency because waste sorting is high in everyward and all staff has been aware about thissystem and they monitor about the wasteseparation process. That is another reason forsuccess this program. Now Hospital expects togive up the LP Gas usage and now they try todo that. In those days they have cultivated manyvegetables with using the organic fertilizerwhich gets from the biogas unit.




Especial Moments of the Construction time




Aw areness Programs Effecitve and Benefits of the Biogas units

This is the firstawareness programfor the HospitalStaff. Topic isEffective and theBenefits of the biogas unit. Underthis program wediscussed about

what is a biogas unit and what the direct benefits are and what are the indirect benefits.

Under this section we aware what are the direct benefits as mention below Can decrease the Global Warming and Climate Change Prevent the Environment Pollution Alternative Energy for the energy problem Solve the Waste problem and waste become a valuable thing Minimize the water pollution

Are some of few main topics were discussed on that time also we discussed about theimportant of the waste separation.

Waste Sorting Important and non organic waste management

The second program was waste sorting and non organicwaste management. This program is very essential forthem because they didn’t have a proper non organicwaste management process and waste sorting. Underthis program we explained them about the internationalstandard of the waste sorting and what is the important

of the waste sorting.Also we explained about whatare waste recycling and its benefits and bad benefits ofwithout waste recycling under this topic especially weexplained about the non organic wastes and its bad effects.Also we have made a place to store the polythene and plasticthen to sell the whole lot. Also they agreed to implement this

and this is other income for the Hospital.




Organic Fertilizer ,New Cultivation system and Organic agriculture

This is the third awareness program that has been organized by the HELP-O to aware thehospital staff. On the other hand this programis special because thorough this program weexpected to start the Organic cultivation insideof the Hospital with using the OrganicFertilizer which gets from the biogas unit.

Under this program we explain about the benefits and effective of this organic manure ofthe biogas unit and we explained them aboutwhat are the types that we can use also aware about this manure can use as a fertilizerand as a hormone and as a insecticide and the best thing is this manure doesn’t heart to

environment.

Also during this program they could able tolearn about the new cultivation techniques andurban agriculture strategies. Because thishospital has limited space and they have agreedto cultivate in near places of the biogas unit withusing this manure. This program was a technicaltraining about aware new techniques of thecultivation.

Evaluation and Challenges discussion workshop

When we design this program we expected to conduct an evaluation workshop andchallenges discussion workshop. Because when they implement by their way they facesome problems and challenges and we have to conduct a program and discussion tosolve this problem otherwise this program will not function well. Through this programwe provided much technical assistance for the hospital staff and that knowledge muchhelpful them to carry this program well.

At this moment we didn’t conducted this program and in beginning the Decemberexpect to conduct because on that time they have enough experience and faced somechallenges while implement this program. This is not an Evaluation workshop and weprovide technical advices and develop the current plans like waste collection anddisposal plan and this happen with their support and from this program they canrealize that the current situation. Anyway this kind of program is very essential for asuccess waste management program.




Dus t b ins and Mobi l e Car t s

We have followed a latest strategies for implement this program. The colored dustbinsare for waste sorting and colored mobile carts to carry the waste. This system is veryaccretive because it is very colorful and easy to understand about what is the process.We conducted many programs and aware them about the important of the wastesorting and now they equipments to sort the waste. At this moment the wasteseparation is 100%. On the other hand this proper waste sorting is much help toimplement the biogas unit in a proper way.

This part is the main part of the biogas program because if waste doesn’t separate wellthe biogas unit will not function well and the problem will never solve. We gave our allstrength to accomplish this work because this is the heart of the program. We could able

to complete 05 dustbins to waste segregation and establish a recycling centre for theother polythene and plastics recycle.




Leaflet about Biogas and Common rules

Under this program we have planned to start newly thing that is print a leaflet which issay about our biogas program waste sorting system including what are the commonrules inside of the Panadura Hospital. Because we think this is very essential to visitorswho come to the Hospital every day. When some patient arrives to the Hospital as aresident patient we provide this leaflet. Through this document they can learn about thesituation of the hospital and what are the rules inside of the hospital. We think thisprogram is much easier to waste segregation because everybody know the process andthis activity we introduce to hospital in first time but it is success.

Openin g Cerem ony – Biog as ProgramOn 17 th November is the most important day of the whole program because weexpected to open this program on that day with the participation of many distinguishedguests. The chief gust was Hon. Governor of Western Province also Hon. Jagath Angage– Minister of Health of Western Province. Mr. Shelton Perera Divisional Director andMr.Amal Harsha Provincial Director Health were participated to this ceremony. Evenofficers of ASIA ONLUS and HELP-O were participated with Hospital Officers.

In beginning speech conducted by the MS ofHospital and she warmly welcome all distinguishguests then she explained about why they neededthis solution and what are the benefits they gettingfrom this biogas unit. Even she explained she saidwithin testing time they could able to earn fromthis biogas program more than Rs.45, 000 from LPGas.Also she explained that they have started the

cultivation and that is only from organic fertilizer and expect to get a good income fromthat and selling the polythene and plastics too.




On that time the Mr. Jagath Angage Minister ofHealth of Western Province has been explainedabout the important of this program and how themunicipality getting benefit and also proposed toestablish a fund for maintains of the biogas unitalso he expect to introduce this programs to otherhospitals of the western province. I came to startthis program and I am very happy that I couldable to participate to opening ceremony of the

biogas unit and I saw in my own eyes the benefits and how they cultivated in here and Iam remember the before situation and I expect to introduce this to all hospitals of theprovince because this is a good system.

Finally speech was conducted by the WesternProvince Governor Secretary Mr. A.WGunarathne and he explained that he could ableto identify the value of this process and he toldthat he expect to introduce this system to allhospitals of the province because this province isthe well populated province of the country andwaste problem is high in here and we need asustainable solution for it. In here I could able tosee how they cultivated and see the flame of

Biogas and waste became a resource in here and this is a very good program forintroduce to all hospitals. I think modern world is facing a big problem that is climatechange and we have to find this kind solution for solve our mother nature and I reallyappreciate this great effort to solve the waste problem in Panadura Hospital.

Opening of Panadura Hospital Biogas unit




Fo l low ed St r a t eg i e s

When we implement this program we have followed our own strategies to overcomethe challenges and implement the program. The main strategy was the conductedawareness programs. When we design the program we have consider about what arethe suitable subjects and what are the areas will be a problem when they implement thisprogram. On beginning level we have design very suitable subjects for the awarenessprogram

Value and the benefits of the biogas Waste sorting and non organic waste management Technical side of the biogas unit Organic fertilizer & Modern Cultivation process and benefits

Evaluation workshops to discuss about the faced difficultiesThose programs has been linked to others because this goes step by step from the beginning program they can understand about the value and benefits of the biogas andsecond we explain what is the suitable steps and process to run this program in properway by waste sorting and non organic waste management. Third program is aboutOrganic fertilizer and Modern Cultivation process and its benefits through this waythey start the organic cultivation. Finally we discuss about the challenges anddifficulties they have been faced during this program implementing.

Second strategy we have followed for success this program make a competition

between staff and wards. This is very good strategy because everybody expects to become first and implement this program properly and through this way everybodymonitor this program. And from a co group to monitor the program because this is oneof good process to monitor program and it is the sustainable thing to run this long time.

HELP-O implemented another strategy that is inserting the pictures to the wasteseparation cards other wise it won’t to easy to understand. Those cards are colorful andeverybody would like to see this card twice because they didn’t see this kind of thingand through this dustbins people and others become to dump the waste to correctdustbin. Even through pictures draw can easily understand about program and dump

correctly and in 03 languages. This process is much easier to implement correct wasteprogram. Providing the mobile carts were one of best strategy to implement thisprogram in sustain way because those carts can carry in every ward and easy to collectthe waste and those are color wise. And at this moment they established a wastecollection store and other polythene, plastic and cardboard can easy to carry.




In here we have followed a new strategy that print little strange leaflet about this biogasprogram and include abut common rules and regulations for a resident patients. Whenpatient comes to hospital gave this leaflet and when they leave the hospital they have tohand over this leaflet. This activity was very effective to aware the resident patient because they can’t aware by conducting a meeting and this is the best solution to awarethem and they know about what is the rules and regulations and through this we couldable to make every ward to best waste separation even all nurses can monitor the wasteseparation of the ward. And every resident patient dumps the waste to correct bin because when they arrive to hospital they have been well aware.

The key strategy was conducing an Experience Exchange program between GalleKarapitiya Hospital and Panadura Hospital before implement this program. Hospitalstaff of Panadura didn’t see a biogas unit and its process and they didn’t believe thisstory when they visited to the Karapitiaya Hospital they could able to see this story intheir own eyes and then they believed this can do in their hospital in better way thanKarapitiya Hospital. In this program they saw the effective of the biogas and benefitsand how Karapitiya Hospital could able to decrease the LP Gas usage and earn moneyand their separation process and non organic waste management. Then everybodythink we can implement this kind of program.

When we implement this program we have followed many strategies to implement thisprogram in sustain and success way. We had various strategies for every activity andthrough this way we could able to implement one of success program. Especiallyexperience exchange program were much helped us to implement this program andthat was the foundation of the program.

Sus t a inab i l it y o f t he Program

HELP-O expected to implement this program in sustain way and we have formed a cogroup for monitor this program and they keep monitor this program also Hospitalmanagement have planned to establish a fund for maintains and for sustainability forthis program. Now they could able to reduce the LP Gas usage and that earned moneywill expect to use to this fund too. When there is a repair that fund will use to repair the

biogas unit and other related things.From the organization side we expect to provide the technical support when they needand because this component is one of main thing for sustain and this is one of part ofour partnership program. At this moment hospital management appointed separateteam for this biogas unit and they maintain this biogas unit and cultivate also they havegood knowledge about this process and they well trained.




Through our awareness and other activities all staff aware about our program and theyknow about the correct process and there is a good monitoring team and when all thosethings be together the program implement in sustain way. Even they finally separatethe all waste before dump the biogas unit and that is one of main thing for long lastingsuccess.

Chal lenges of t he Program

01 The first challenge was we conducted an Experience Exchange program betweenKarapitiya Hospital and Panadura Hospital before begin the program but unfortunatelywe had to start the program after several months. From that reason their positiveattitudes were goes down and we had to improve that from beginning level. Becausethey saw the success and they needed to start this program as soon as possible but the

process were slow and it took much time to approve the program. For overcome thischallenges we conducted a basic discussion with the hospital staff and able toencourage them to start this program.

02 The second main challenge was about how toaware the resident patients about the waste separationand this program. Because patients are changeeveryday by day and those is the key person of wastegeneration and their visitors. If we can’t aware themabout this program the whole effort will be goes down.

We have followed a good and strong strategy for thisthat is print a leaflet for every resident patient. Whennew patients come to hospital as a resident patient thisleaflet issues to patient or patient relative. And patient leave the hospital they shouldhand over this leaflet to hospital and we include the normal regulations and rules of the

hospital and through this leaflet we could able to awarethe key person and they know about how to dump thewaste and its process. Now patient knows about thenormal procedure and usually they don’t go to dumpthe waste to wrong dustbin. And that leaflet mucheasier for the hospital to implement good service because every person knows about the systems andprocedures. Through this leaflet waste sorting quality

was increased in every ward and patients could able to understand about the value ofthe waste sorting. This leaflet process was very successful and this system has started infirst time in hospital.




03 The other challenge was gather the all staff for trainings and for overcome thatwe conducted more programs and second thing is the trained staff aware the othersabout the process. On the other hand this is an experience exchange program and thisprocess is much easier to overcome the challenge because we can’t gather them in same

time and all staff should be aware about the whole system and if we could not able tosolve this we are failing. But following that strategy we could able to overcome that.

04 When we implement this program we had to work with the Western ProvinceWaste Management Authority the challenge was their goals and our project goals didn’tsame and match and they had separate program for this but before implement this we both should have a one goals. For overcome this challenge we conducted somemeetings with all stakeholders and we have expressed about our ideas and goals andshare both parties ideas and became one solution for implement this program.

05 The other challenge we expect there is no fund for the maintains because afterone and two years later the all equipments will be broke down and the hospital has tofind new donations to carry this program continue and we expect to guide the hospitalto establish a fund and we expect to get the income from the earned money fromdecrease LP Gas and the other way is selling the polythene plastics.

Les ion and Leaned t h ings of Program

From this program we realize many things one is we can implement good waste

management program inside of the Hospital because many people are saying thatnobody can’t implement waste management program inside of the hospital but it is nottrue in here because at this moment it happens and past one month they could able earnmore than Rs.45, 000 from waste. Also we knew that we can provide a sustain solutionto waste problem through the biogas program and for the environment pollution aswell as Global Warming and Climate Change. The other learned thing was thatHospital can do a waste management in correct way because every time all staff andpatients can be change and it is hard thing to gather and aware they but we could ableto change that.

The second thing we could learned is the team work and listen to others ideas anddiscussion because when we implement all activities we didn’t try to push our idea tothem and we conducted a discussion about the need and gather the all participantsideas and able final solution. We prepared the waste management plan with them andthey decided the places put the dustbins that can easily monitor and that thing was verysuccessful because they get the responsible for monitor and implement this in successway. We could able to realize the important of teamwork because without their team




work the system will not work and we believe that teamwork is much need toimplement the program. Sometimes we have changed our ideas and plans after discusswith them because they know the correct need. For an example the leaflet in beginningtime we tried to print a leaflet about biogas program and then they informed us that itshould be include about common rules and regulations and they expect to issue thiswhen patient arrive to hospital as a resident patient. Through this the all staff andpatients aware the system and this was much easy to waste sorting and implement thisprogram in success way.

The other learned thing is we have a good example to show other hospital because inhere the all activities much helpful for the implement. And we have a pack of wastemanagement program that can introduce to other places and all distinguish guests wereexpect to introduce this to other places because through this they saw the result and benefits.

The other thing is the important of the Partnership because we had a strong partnershipof ASIA ONLUS, Panadura Hospital, HELP-O because those are the key players of thegame. Before implement everything we discuss and then implement and we didn’tcreate anything without others permission and information sharing is 100% and we hada good mutual understanding about each others responsibilities and role.

Ac hievemen t s o f t he Program

When we implement we could able to achieve many things during the implementing

period and after implement. The main thing is we could able to expand our program tomany hospitals after implement this minister of health of western province has beenrequested from us to implement this biogas program in every hospital of the area. Afterthat Padiyathalawa Hospital, Udugama Hospital, Mathale Hospital and Trinco NavalCamp and Hospital were requested the biogas program and at this moment Udugamaand Mathale and Trinco Naval Camp and Hospital we could able to start this in successway.

Second achievement is make new requests from the Private sector because many smallhotels and restaurants were requested from us to construct biogas units in their places.

Because they are expend much money for the LP Gas and they have a big problem ofwaste. Through this HELP-O could able to expand our waste management program tomany places and expects to reduce the methane gas emission to air. Because others cansee the benefits of this and they would like to have a one in their places.

Even through this experience we could able to make a waste management package. Wehave our own training modules and strategies process to aware the beneficiaries and we




have our own biogas unit with we modified because we construct china model and wehave modified it. Also we have posters and leaflets and dustbins for this package andHELP-O expects to introduce this many places in future.

When we implement this program HELP-O could form new and well trained

professional construction team with the labors. Through this team we started toconstruct more biogas units in various places because we had little professionalconstruction team members but from this biogas unit we formed more members and wecould able to expand the capacity of our technical side.

The Main achievement is Hospital could earn more than Rs.45, 000 from the decreasingthe LP Gas usage during the last month and they earned 07 LP Gas cylinders which has40 KG in one cylinder. Before they used this 07 cylinder in one month but when this biogas unit established they could able to use this for two months that means theyearned 07 cylinders. Also they have started the organic cultivation in the hospital then

they expect to sell the organic fertilizer which gets from the biogas unit. For the nonorganic waste management they constructed storage in the hospital and expect to getanother additional income from selling that.

Fut ure Plans and Ex pans ion of Program

HELP-O expects to expand this program to many hospitals of the area and introducethis program to many hospitals especially for Horana Hospital, Kaluthara Hospitalincluding the other hospitals of western province. Many local authorities in Kaluthara

and other district were requesting the biogas units at this moment including the Army,Navy camps. We have many requests from the every hospital of the Kaluthara andother western province hospital and the minister has agreed to implement this kind ofprogram in hospital and he gave the permission to it while he was conducting hisspeech on opening ceremony.

Even we got request from the eastern province hospitals and Sabaragamuwa ProvinceHospitals because those all places could able to see the result from their own eyes.HELP-O expects to implement and introduce this system to other place because wehave enough experience above this filed and we introduced a good model to Panadura

Hospital. Even the secretary of the western province governor has been agreed toprovide the necessary permission to establish the biogas unit in every hospital of theprovince because this province is suffering waste problem and many people are comingto those areas everyday and waste collection can’t manage to local authorities.

We expect to introduce this model to private sector because we have thousands ofrequests from private sector to construct biogas units for their hotels and small




restaurants. HELP-O hopes to start this program as a loan basis to private sector thatcan pay monthly installments to HELP-O. Private sector expends much money to the LPGas and for manages the waste they can’t find big money at one time and that is whywe expect to establish a revolving fund for construct more biogas units.

At this moment we have many requests from private sector and they need this biogasunit for their places but they can’t find a big money in one time and they ask from us toimplement this program as a loan basis and during the past time we consider about thisrequest. Then we have planned to establish a revolving fund and construct biogas unitand introduce other waste management package to private sector. The beneficiaryshould pay monthly installment to our organization and we sign a MOU between themand that thing we have tested in OASIS Hotel Hambantota. That process is ongoingnow. This is our final goal because from this fund we can implement biogas and wastemanagement programs in all over the country.

Effec t ive o f t he B iogas p rogram

The effective of the program is high because many things were fixed because of theprogram one thing there is a good and pleasant situation of the hospital. The mainreason is there is no bad waste smell in hospital land and they have a good wastemanagement program. While this program implement whole staff’s attitudes werechanged in beginning time they didn’t think this will workout but very soon theychanged the way of thinking because they could able to see the results in their own

eyes.The other main effective is people realize that waste management program canimplement in hospital and other hospitals were requests from us to implement this kindof program in their places. The other thing is people started the waste segregation because they never done this before and this strong message spread to their houses andmany doctors, nurses and minor staff started the waste separation in their home andsome are carry the waste to hospital biogas unit and they don’t dump the waste to roadand irregular way. Now even the resident patients realize the important of wastesegregation and they do that work in correct way and they also help to hospital

management to monitor this waste management program.The other effective of the program is local authority and government realize that thisprogram is good for waste management and decrease the methane gas emission to airand for stop the irregular waste dumping. Also they knew that through this programdecrease the LP Gas usage too. Now it becomes a provincial policy to introduce this.




Vote o f Thank s t o Funded Organ iza t ions

This program is been funded from the RegioneLazio in collaboration with OICS. ASIA ONLUSOrganization been implemented this programwith the coordination of the HELP-O. On thistime we vote of thanks to our all funded

organizations for this program because through this program they could able to earnmore than US $ 450 in a month from reducing the LP Gas usage. Also they expect tostart to sell the organic fertilizer. All stakeholders could able to this target because ofour donor support and ones again we would like to thanks to Regione Lazio incollaboration with OICS.
