E-DRUG: RFI: hospital waste policies
------------------------------------
dear E-druggers,
Recently in Madagascar a working group about hazardous hospital waste
management has been set up. In April 2004 we convened a national workshop,
in the aftermath of this event a technical committee was designed for
drafting the future hospital waste national policy.
We are looking for similar approaches and had like to share experience on
the issue, particularly on:
- boxes for needles and sharp device (contaminated or from household
origin),
- waste removal (incineration and other options).
If any experience and related approach, please get in touch with:
Cecile Mourlan
Hospital pharmacist,
