As you have read <\/span>about biomedical waste<\/span><\/a> in my previous blog. So this is my second blog on procedure, treatment, and disposal of biomedical waste management. We have to think of suitable alternatives to tackle this problem. Proper management of biomedical waste<\/a> ensures the safety and hygiene of institutions and communities.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

 Improper management can cause various viral or bacterial infections. This can lead to forming resistant organisms or pathogens. This further leads the organisms to our doorsteps. So, prime attention should be on the proper and safe disposal of these wastes. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was mentioned in the<\/span> Springer journal in 2002, an<\/span><\/a> assessment run by W.H.O. in 22 developing countries. It found that 18% to 64% of healthcare facilities don’t use proper disposal methods.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Under this rule, steps are defined for the proper management of biomedical wastes. I have mentioned these steps in detail below :<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
