Prevent Nosocomial infections Control misutilisation of left over drugs. Minimise the risk of air, water and soil
pollution directly due to waste, or due to defective incineration emissions and ash.
Check the risk of infection outside hospital for waste handlers and scavengers, other peoples.

Ministry of Environment and Forests has revised the
Bio Medical Waste (Management and Handling) Rules promulgated under the Environment Protection Act of 1986. The Rules now called the Bio Medical Wastes (Management and Handling) Rules 2011.According to the Ministry of Environment and Forests (MoEF) gross generation of BMW in India is 4,05,702 kg/day of which only 2,91,983 kg/day is disposed, which means that almost 28% of the wastes is left untreated and not disposed finding its way in dumps or water bodies and re-enters our system.

Do not dispose dressings in patients bin / Ask for
disposal bags. Ensure all the plastics and gloves are cut and put
into bleach solution. Ensure all used injections are cut using needle
cutters. Ensure compliance of this scheme during ward
visits Help patients understand the scheme. Media plates to be put in separate bleach solution.

Conclusion
• We need innovative and radical measures to clean up the distressing picture of lack of civic concern on the part of hospitals and slackness in government implementation of bare minimum of rules, as waste generation particularly biomedical waste imposes increasing direct and indirect costs on society. • The challenge before us is to scientifically manage growing quantities of biomedical waste that go beyond past practices.
