Guidelines implementation must for proper management of medical waste

A hospital is the last resort of hope for sick people who expect to get better and heal. However, shortcoming on the part of the hospital staff and management could instead have an adverse effect on public health. According to the annual health report published by the Department of Health Services in 2000/2001, there are 74 hospitals, 172 Primary Health Care Units, 710 Health Posts and 3132 Sub-health Post run by the government across Nepal. The number of healthcare institutions has certainly surged in the recent years. All healthcare facilities are required to follow the ‘National Health Care Waste Management Guidelines’ prepared by the National Health Research Council (NHRC).

  • 01 “Wastes from health care institutions can be categorized as infectious or noninfectious."

    Infectious wastes include human, animal, or biological wastes and any items that may be contaminated with pathogens. Noninfectious wastes include toxic chemicals, cytotoxic drugs, and radioactive, flammable, and explosive wastes, reads the guideline.

  • However, not all hospitals are following the guidelines mainly because of the lack of budget, lack of orientation regarding medical waste management to waste handlers, and flimsy monitoring from the government. Segregation of medical waste is a vital part of hospital waste management. Poor management of hospital waste poses risk not only to its handlers during its treatment and disposal but also to the environment if not disposed in a proper manner. Haphazard management of hospital waste also gives black marketers an opportunity to collect the disposed medical equipment and resell them.

  • “We used to have an ideal waste management system to sterilize and dispose hospital waste before the 2015 earthquake. But the earthquake damaged the building where we had installed the autoclave device and now we don’t have any space. The new building is currently being used to accommodate admitted patients.” Dr Century added that lack of space has barred the hospital from following NHRC’s National Health Care Waste Management Guidelines and they are relying on traditional means of sterilization for the time being. Management of medical waste at private hospitals is poorer as compared to government run hospitals for want of regular monitoring from authorities concerned. A report published by the Ministry of Health and Population shows that private hospitals continue to burn, bury and dispose hazardous immunization waste mixing it up with the municipal waste.

Frequently Asked Questions

Waste management regulations and disposal methods.

  • What is waste management?

    Waste management is the collection, transportation and disposal of waste materials.

  • Keep separate containers for dry and wet waste in the kitchen. Keep two bags for dry waste collection- paper and plastic, for the rest of the household waste. Keep plastic from the kitchen clean and dry and drop into the dry waste bin. Keep glass /plastic containers rinsed of food matter. Keep a paper bag for throwing sanitary waste.

  • Form a group with like-minded people. Explain waste segregation to your family / neighbours in your apartment building. Get the staff in the apartment building to also understand its importance. Get separate storage drums for storing dry and wet waste. Have the dry waste picked up by the dry waste collection centre or your local scrap dealer.

  • 1. Wet waste- Wet waste consists of kitchen waste - including vegetable and fruit peels and pieces, tea leaves, coffee grounds, eggshells, bones and entrails, fish scales, as well as cooked food (both veg and non-veg).

    2. Dry Waste- Paper, plastics, metal, glass, rubber, thermocol, styrofoam, fabric, leather, rexine, wood – anything that can be kept for an extended period without decomposing is classified as dry waste.

Expired medicines and injections, used syringes also have to be disposed in the same manner.
