Abstract

Medical/hospital waste, doubt can become a potential source of poisoning. The improper disposal is a growing problem throughout the world, with a manifold effect on the cost of health care, public health and the environment. The objectives of this research are the review of current situation of medical waste generated by different Healthcare Establishments (HCE) in Dhaka city, the capital of Bangladesh, attitudes and knowledge of pharmacists/policy makers on the matter and the measures they should undertake in order to make the general public aware of the significance of proper disposal of medical waste. Thus, there is a need to initiate a concentrated effort to reduce the negative impact of waste on environment, public health and safety at health care facilities.
