What is the applicability of bio-medical waste?

Biomedical waste is a kind of waste containing infectious materials generated during the treatment of humans or animal research activities.
Hospitals generate a huge amount of bio-medical waste every year and this must be managed effectively. Proper waste management is important in maintaining a healthy environment not just for the hospitals but for the environment on a more significant level.

DPCC grants permission to hospitals and other healthcare facilities to generate, collect, receive, store, transport, treat, process, dispose or handle biomedical waste as per the rules and guidelines issues by the Central government or the Central Pollution Control Board. It is important for all the health care amenities and hospitals to apply for biomedical waste registration to effectively manage and dispose the bio medical waste.

Proper handling of Biomedical waste
1. The waste must be segregated in a container or colored bags as specified
2. Pre-treat the laboratory waste, microbiological waste and blood bags through disinfection or sterilization on-site as per manner prescribed by WHO or NACO
3. The health care facilities need to phase out chlorinated plastic bags, blood bags along gloves within two years from the date of notification of these major rules
4. Disposing solid waste as per the provisions of respective waste management rules
