Healthcare waste management is a challenge in my country-Ethiopia.

Health waste management is a big challenge in my country. Though there are efforts in the country, pharmaceutical waste management and other healthcare waste management is pertinently challenging in the healthcare system. I have expectations to know the experiences and the different effective waste management. Taddelele Awoke, Supply Chain Program Advisor, Ministry of Health-Ethiopia

In a hospital set -up, there is need to be screening of waste into groups, thus infectious waste and highly infectious waste. The coding of bins using colour coded to differentiate type of waste. The colours are green, yellow and red, red for very toxic and hazardous waste.Medical waste to include sputum,syringe,needles must be handled with care in sharps container and must be filled to 3/4 and be sealed.
