  10. Waste? • Any useless, unwanted or discarded material • General waste: Non-hazardous waste includes kitchen waste, paper or wrappers etc. it falls under domestic waste stream. • Biomedical waste: generated during diagnosis, treatment, immunization of human being or animals, in research activities, in production & testing of biological.

  11. Biomedical waste • From minor or scattered sources, e.g. waste produced by healthcare at home i.e. dialysis, insulin injection. • 75-90% of such wastage are non-risk and falls under municipal waste disposal. • Human anatomical waste like tissues, organs and body parts • Animal waste generated during research from veterinary hospitals • Microbiology and biotechnology waste • Waste sharps like hypodermic needles, syringes, scalpels and broken glass • Discarded medicines and toxic drugs • Soiled waste such as dressing, bandages, plaster casts, material contaminated with blood, tubes and catheters • Liquid waste from any of the infected areas • Incineration ash and other chemical waste

  12. Why Hospital Waste Management?

  13. Need for hospital waste management • Rapid increase in healthcare establishment • Emerging technological changes in medical field (i.e.) disposable items • Risk to public gets increased in many folds - Rag Pickers • Unsafe healthcare practices - half million people have died every year. • Assessment report of World Health Organization (WHO) - 18 to 64% of healthcare facilities do not use proper waste disposal methods. • Moreover 85 % of hospital waste are non hazardous, whereas 10% are being infectious hazard & remaining 5% are non-infectious hazard waste.

  14. Waste Disposal - Challenging Issue • Developed countries generate - 5 kg of hospital waste/day & Developing countries -2kg/day. • In India, out of 2kg waste/day, 10-15% is found to biomedical waste. • India holds first position for the highest generator of biomedical waste in world, contributes 0.33 million tons per year.

  15. BMW Rule? • In 1998, biomedical waste management & handling (BMW) rules were drafted by the directives of honorable Supreme Court of India. • It is the responsibility of every institution (hospital, dispensaries, veterinary, pathological lab, blood banks etc) those generating biomedical waste should take necessary steps to dispose without any adverse effect to human health & environment. • Hence healthcare establishment would follow strict segregation, packaging, labeling and disposal as per BMW rule. • Many institution lacks in following the appropriate system because of non-availability of appropriate technology, lack of professional training, lack of adequate financial resources & lack of commitment at each level. • However, many nongovernmental organization (NGO) & media personnel are actively working in this field to bring this issue to the fore.

  16. Absence of waste management • Inadequate, inappropriate and improper waste management leads to foul odor, environmental pollution, and multiplication of disease carrying organisms like insect, rodents & worms. • Transmission of disease likes typhoid, cholera, hepatitis, HIV through contact with infected waste & in particular through accidental injuries from used sharps. • It impact on environment by adding toxic pollutants to water, air & soil. These can potentially damage our flora, fauna & eco system. • Waste management has more impact on human healthcare.

  17. Regulatory Authorities • Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB), Ministry of environment, Forest & Climate Change (MoEFCC), Government of India. • State Pollution Control Board (SPCB)/ Pollution Control Committee (PCC) -The prescribed authority for enforcement of the provisions of BMW rules
