Better health care waste management - An integral component of health investment

The overall objective of this publication is to de-mystify the topic of health care waste management and demonstrate that positive improvements are possible in almost every situation with relatively modest levels of effort and investment. It is designed to provide managers and technical staff of health care facilities with the information needed to tackle poor health care waste management as part of their day-to-day work programmes. The publication has two specific aims: a) to provide managers and advisers in health care establishments with an easy-to-read introduction to the subject; and b) to provide technical staff of such establishements with a reference guide.
