Infection Prevention and Control (IPC)

Healthcare waste management training completed

The training was conducted from 11-12 July by the National Department of Health through the World Bank-funded COVID-19 Emergency Response Project and was facilitated through the NCDPHA.

As demand for quality healthcare increases, healthcare waste also increases, consistent with population growth and expansion of medical services. Communities exposed to healthcare waste are at risk of injury and disease, including healthcare personnel and waste handlers.
