Entsorgung von Krankenhausabfällen im Krankenhaus von Kikwit und in der Klinik

Waste management is a highly relevant topic. It is the subject of numerous scientific debates and publications worldwide, but it is also a matter of daily life in urban areas. Here, people are already confronted with waste disposal at home, as well as at the workplace, symbolized by the open garbage heaps in vacant lots and some public spaces. Poor waste disposal leads to pollution of the natural environment and causes nuisances. A hospital should generally be characterized by cleanliness and hygiene. These two essential features of a hospital can be jeopardized by the waste produced by medical staff during their work in the consultation rooms, in the pavilions, in the laboratory, on the maternity ward, etc. It is therefore in the interest of all to ensure appropriate treatment regarding handling, packaging, storage, and disposal in light of the legislation that healthcare personnel must adhere to.
