Sources of Financing • Major investments in a new HCWM system can not be made based on funds from the Health Insurance Fund, due to its accumulated debts. • Financing directly from the state budget via MoH is considered, in combination with: • Contributions from MEPP on specific environmental programmes, • Soft loans based on Government guarantees, • International grants, etc STRATEGY ON THE MANAGEMENT OF THE BIOMEDICAL WASTE

  4. Future Tariffs • Future tariff for HCWM should incorporate the following costs: • The costs of establishing and maintaining proper storage facilities at general hospitals and health centres, • Costs for purchase, maintenance and operation of a sufficient number of small vans or trucks to be used in the primary collection service, • Other internal costs such as investments in small plastic containers on wheels, receptacles, etc. and use of consumables in the form of plastic bags, sharps boxes, etc. • Costs for the investments in the establishment of the final treatment facilities (e.g. three regionally based autoclaves) and associated operation & maintenance costs STRATEGY ON THE MANAGEMENT OF THE BIOMEDICAL WASTE

  5. Responsibilities for Setting of Tariffs • According to the Law on Waste the Operator of the disposal facility is in charge of setting the tariff • The MEPP shall approve the tariff, taking care for the inclusion of all costs • Tariff paid by the generator shall cover the full costs for the operation of the (regional) HCWM Systems • Small generators shall pay to the regional centers also a margin for the “internal” collection STRATEGY ON THE MANAGEMENT OF THE BIOMEDICAL WASTE
