Another point to discuss the health care waste management in primary care. Everyone working in AP are well aware that in addition to separate sharps waste the rest going to the same site. We threw everything into a single container. It is true that some places are separated biohazard (bloody gauze, bandages, catheters ...), but then, those responsible for cleaning the roll all the container.
This morning a colleague told me cleaner than a health center where she works are separated waste into different bins, but then she throws all the exterior container that coincidentally shares a strip mall that also throw products obsolete or in disrepair. It turns out that in this container there are often groups of people rummaging through garbage looking for food to take advantage of pulling the mall. She says these people that are pulling away traces of blood, cures ... (Ie, biohazardous waste), but ignore him and continue taking food that has been in contact with this waste of the health center.
is well known to all that there are rules prohibiting these resisuos throw it in the normal, must be removed in special containers and incinerated to prevent the spread of certain diseases (Hepatitis, HIV ...)
is clear that there is no plan for healthcare waste management complying with the rules. Not speak either of the separation of the enormous amount of paper generated for recycling.
