Abstract

Biomedical Waste Disposal has become a subject of great concern in the modern health care system. It is vital in maintaining public health and preventing transmission of certain infectious diseases. Knowledge and attitudes towards safe disposal of biomedical waste is key to the successful implementation of the program particularly in the health care facilities. 200 health care professionals interviewed to understand the ground realities of their knowledge and attitudes. While all of them agreed to the fact that knowledge about Biomedical Waste disposal is essential, only 55% have the knowledge of color coding. 74% have knowledge of segregation and 86% use protective gear while segregating. 99% have favorable attitude score. Knowledge among the medical personnel is high whereas the same among the house keeping staff is low. The need for providing continuous education and monitoring its implementation and strict law enforcement are some of the suggestions made to achieve a complete and meaningful Biomedical Waste Management.
