About this study
Official title: Evaluation of Different Healthcare Waste Management Practices and Problems Among Primary and Secondary Hospitals in Mianwali
Healthcare waste is defined as the total waste stream from a healthcare facility. Most of it (75-90%) is similar waste to domestic waste and is known as healthcare general waste and is made up of paper, plastic packaging, food preparation etc. But as a similar proportion (10-25%) is hazards waste and requires special treatment. If these two categories of wastes are not separated properly then the entire volume of healthcare waste is considered as infectious and hazardous to human health and can result in disease and injury so it is necessary to set up a safe and integrated management system.
In this cross-sectional study public hospitals of Mianwali City will be selected by simple random sampling for observation of practices of hospital waste management.
