This synthesis document provides a high-level summary of the complete document, Health Care Waste Management in Immunisation Programs: Guidance for Proposal Planning, which was designed to help you to prepare and plan your HCWM system, and to clarify your country’s HCWM status to help you develop proposals

for funding and investment from an immunisation perspective. The purpose

of this synthesis is to initiate the conversation and direct users who seek

more details to the full document, which brings together existing guidance on assessing and planning for HCWM.
