Title: | Assessment of medical waste management in a Palestinian hospital | Authors: | Khatib, Issam | Issue Date: | May-2006 | Publisher: | ResearchGate | Abstract: | We studied medical waste management in a Palestinian hospital in the West Bank and the
role of municipality in this management. In general, “good management practices” were inadequate; there
was insufficient separation between hazardous and non-hazardous wastes, an absence of necessary
rules and regulations for the collection of wastes from the hospital wards and the on-site transport
to a temporary storage location inside and outside the hospital and inadequate waste treatment and
disposal of hospital wastes along with municipal garbage. Moreover, training of personnel was lacking
and protective equipment and measures for staff were not available. No special landfills for hazardous
wastes were found within the municipality. Medical wastes - Management - Palestine |
