Current practices of healthcare waste management

Proper segregation of healthcare waste at source, storage, and transportation are required not only to prevent negative health and environmental impacts, but also to maintain resource efficiency and material recovery. In addition, existing operational protocols for healthcare waste management and MSW management should be continued for COVID-19 waste, with specific precautionary measures, adjustments, and arrangements applied to mitigate any potential risks of COVID-19 infection in the waste management process. The following key findings (Table 15) have been identified through the desk study and questionnaire survey in handling the healthcare waste from healthcare facilities.
