Abstract :
Biomedical waste management is an integral part of traditional and contemporary system of health care. We focuses on the identification and classification of Biomedical waste in Hospitals, Clinics, Pharmacy, Pathology Lab it’s management and it’s future prospective.
The constituents of this type of waste are various and hazardous. Biomedical Waste Management Rules, 2016 (BMWM Rules, 2016) Specify that every healthcare facility shall take all necessary steps to ensure that BMW is handled without any adverse effect on human and environmental health.
Then used colour coding and type of containers and labels for BMW containers or bags which should be non-washable and visible.
We aware in hospital, Pharmacy, pathology lab, to insect incineration process and used it. Because the incineration process safe and reduce the pollution.
Keywords: Bio-medical waste, Bio-medical waste management, Segregation, Collection, Transportation, Disposal
