INTRODUCTION
Effective biomedical waste management (BMWM) is mandatory for healthy
humans and cleaner environment. Unregulated biomedical waste management is
a public health problem. This has posed a grave threat to not only human health
and safety but also to the environment for the current and future generations. Safe
and reliable methods for handling of biomedical waste (BMW) are of paramount
importance.
The basic principle of good BMW practice is based on the concept of 3Rs,
namely, reduce, recycle, and reuse. The best BMW management methods aim at
avoiding generation of waste or recovering as much as waste as possible, rather
than disposing. Therefore, the various methods of BMW disposal, according to
their desirability, are prevent, reduce, reuse, recycle, recover, treat, and lastly
dispose. Hence, the waste should be tackled at source rather than “end of pipe
approach”. Data from Government of India site indicates the total BMW
generated in the country is 484 TPD (tonnes per day) from 1, 68,869 health care
facilities (HCFs). Unfortunately, only 447 TPD is treated, and 37 TPD is left
untreated. India is likely to generate about 775.5 tonnes of medical waste per day
by 2022 from the current level of 550.9 tonnes daily. Waste management market
in India is expected to reach USD 13.62 billion by 2025.
Biomedical waste management should ideally be the subject of a national
strategy with dedicated infrastructure, cradle-to-grave legislation, competent
regulatory authority and trained personnel. “Safe and effective management of
waste is not only a legal necessity but also a social responsibility. Lack of
concern, motivation, awareness and cost factor are some of the major challenges
faced for proper biomedical waste management”. At the same time, there is a
need to educate our staff and students regarding the hazards associated with
improper waste disposal. Education of staff about management of biomedical
waste is crucial in today’s healthcare arena. Keeping this view in mind this
workshop is being organized to make the stakeholders aware, refresh and update
about biomedical waste management.
