Abstract :
Madam, a major challenge in a developing society is the access to relevant, reliable and implementable rules for healthcare waste management (HCWM) where healthcare personnel and now even the common man is at the mercy of perilous infectious diseases. The resulting uncertainty about the causes of poor HCWM has always been a major concern of international health and funding agencies as a crucial limitation to providing healthcare. According to WHO there were about 22 countries which had 64% hospitals with improper waste disposal methods resulting in direct reuse of contaminated equipment and occupational hazards.
