摘要

Studies suggest that between 25 and 50% of medical and healthcare waste is not managed safely. A Global threat that all countries with concerned Economic situation is Medical Waste segregation, where approximately 25 million tons of medical waste is generated worldwide. The irregularities in Segregation and disposal will spread to contagious diseases and serious injuries to health care workers and waste handlers, it also causes serious contaminations to the environment and affects the people with economical and health hazards. To mitigate and minimize these risks, proper segregation mechanism has to be developed for medical waste segregation. The Mechanism involves identifying the type of waste at the point of generation and ensuring proper handling, storing, transporting and disposing of them. The aftermath cost is more comparable because of the health hazards the infectious medical waste could bring to the exposed, also the separation and disposal at the end stage makes the process more tedious and more cost involved. By addressing the issue of segregation and executing them with the proposed methodology will induce mitigation and prevention of health hazards caused due to improper medical waste segregation..
