STUDY ON KNOWLEDGE, AWARENESS AND PRACTICES OF BIOMEDICAL WASTE MANAGEMENT AND INFECTION CONTROL AMONG HOSPITAL STAFF AT CIVIL HOSPITAL, ROPAR (GOVERNMENT OF PUNJAB)
Abstract : Waste produced during the diagnosis, treatment, or immunisation of humans or animals, as well as during related research, the creation and testing of biological products, or health camps, is all included in the category of biomedical waste. This has an impact on the environment in addition to being a major burden for hospitals. In order to reduce negative consequences on the environment and public health arising from waste generated during patient care, hospitals must manage biomedical waste effectively. Hospital waste management, which includes operations like collection, transportation, operation or treatment of processing systems, and waste disposal, is an essential component of hospital hygiene and maintenance activities, according to a 1998 notification from the Government of India[1,2].
