Reducing UPOPs and Mercury Releases from The Health Sector in Africa
Effective communication for innovation in sustainable procurement in the health
sector
- Example of an ongoing project -
…to implement best environmental practices and introduce non-incineration healthcare waste treatment technologies and mercury-free medical devices in four Sub-Saharan African countries (Ghana, Madagascar, Tanzania and Zambia) to reduce harmful releases from the health sector.
Overall project objective
Under consideration to spur sustainable
development, innovation, and the green
economy in the sector…
Reducing UPOPs and Mercury Releases from The Health Sector in Africa
Why sustainable, green procurement?
Outcomes:
⚫POPs releases to the environment reduced
⚫Country capacity built to effectively phase-out and reduce releases of POPs
⚫Country capacity built to effectively manage mercury in priority sectors
Indicators:
⚫Amount of un-intentionally produced POPs releases avoided or reduced
⚫Progress in developing and implementing a legislative and regulatory framework for environmentally sound management of POPs
⚫Countries implement pilot mercury management and reduction activities (green economy)
Outcomes and indicators of success
Requires: Sustainable development & Innovation!
⚫Main reasons for problems with HCWM:
Missing communication strategy!
Not considering that HCWM is a cross-cutting activity
Unclear and opposing interests and responsibilities are existent
Neglecting of workflows and waste stream management aspects
Missing know-how, innovation and underestimation of importance of logistic

Lessons learned
Legislative Framework:
Laws and by-laws for
HCWM on different
levels
Financial Framework:
Clear strategy in how
to finance the total
costs of HCWM
Capacity Building:
Training system for
HCWM (operational,
monitoring and institute. )
Operational HCWM:
Segregation, Collection,
Treatment and Disposal
Adapted, National
HCWM Development Plan
„HCW Action Plan“
Requirements for a sustainable procurement strategy
Healthcare Waste National plans, implementation strategies, and national policies in each recipient country
⚫National policy and regulatory framework for HCWM and mercury phase-out.
⚫National action plan including the selection of up to 1 central or cluster treatment facility, 2 hospitals, and 3 small rural health posts as models.
Legislative Framework
Building capacity to assess, plan, and implement healthcare waste management (HCWM) and the phase-out of mercury
⚫Technical guidelines and SOPs to be developed
⚫Central training for national experts (duration 2 weeks) by end of 2016
⚫Training included theoretical & practical aspects, including ToT, PPP, pricing, technical aspects, operation and maintenance etc.
⚫Participatory approach: Items and equipment specifications commonly standardized for all countries
Capacity building activities
Need of building capacity to ensure sustainable
development, innovation, and the green economy?
ToT – applied in the countries
ToT in the countries:
⚫Including of relevant aspects in official curriculums
⚫Cooperation with local training providers
⚫Development of new curriculums (post graduation training)
Make available in the region affordable non-incineration HCWM systems and mercury-free devices that conform to BAT and international standards (for 3 health posts, up to 2 hospitals, and 1 central or cluster treatment facility)
⚫Procurement is centrally carried out by UNDP, based on a commonly agreed on equipment catalogue
⚫Equal distribution among four project countries in the first phase
⚫Equipment for the second phase will be allocated according to performance assessed in the mid-term review.

Reducing UPOPs and Mercury Releases from The Health Sector in Africa
Innovative, green Treatment Strategy: Steam
Treatment
►Why is steam treatment getting today popular?
Least possible environmental impacts
Easy operation and simple maintenance
Safest way of treatment, as even sterilization is possible (means
one millionth survival probabiliy of pathogens!)
Low investment and operation costs
More than 30 years experience, easy to monitor and control
Technical Advantages/Disadvantages
⚫ Incineration:
Advantages: Wider spectrum of waste which can be treated,
less volume of waste
Disadvantage: High investment & operation cost, high
maintenance demand, needed solution for (fly) ash disposal
⚫ Steam treatment system:
Advantage: Medium investment cost, low operation cost, no
hazardous by-products, more easy to operated
Disadvantage: Can only treat bio-hazardous waste, low waste
volume reduction, high electricity & water demand
► Communication!!!
⚫“Influencing” the selection process
⚫Consideration of environmental impact (water and electricity consumption)
⚫Consideration of operation cost
⚫Consideration of maintenance requirements
⚫Consideration of available infrastructure
⚫Requires strong technical specifications to ensure innovations are considered!
Technology Selection
⚫Carried out need assessment in the countries, including infrastructure assessment
⚫Preparation of specification and infrastructure requirements for installation sites (buildings)
⚫Including of equipment for infrastructure and maintenance (water, electricity)
⚫Selection of equipment by countries based on standardized items and international technical specifications
⚫Including of “minor” equipment such as PPE, waste logistic equipment, equipment for operation of central treatment centers
⚫Challenge: International tendering under consideration of UN requirements
Procurement Process
Piloting of environmental questionaire
Available at: https://issuu.com/informal_int_task_team_sphs/docs/undp_environmental_questionnaire_in
⚫Effective communication for innovation in sustainable procurement in the health sector requires:
►Creation of a framework to enable sustainable, innovative procurement and communication (replication)
►Building capacity to allow beneficiaries to select right equipment (ownership)
►Standardization of equipment and development of acceptable, international technical specification for procurement
►Consideration of the existing infrastructure
►Selection of equipment under consideration of BAT aspects and affordability (operation costs, maintenance)
