Abstract

Background: Hospital wastes, contain a large quantity of dangerous wastes, which are hazardous to the health of man, animal, plant and environment. The daily increasing production of these wastes, has changed the collection, keeping and disposal of wastes to a bio-health problem which needs urgent attention. In Iran, like many other developing countries, enough attention is not paid to this matter. The present information about production and disposal of wastes in our hospitals is little and incomplete, making it difficult to plan a system for hospital WASTE MANAGEMENT. In this study, the results of a survey on hospital WASTE MANAGEMENT system in Fars province university hospitals, which serves as medical referral center for the southern part of the country will be presented. Materials and Methods: In this cross-sectional study, all 35 university hospitals (12 educational and 23 noneducational) in Fars province were assessed from November 2001 to March 2002 using a specific data collection form. Results: Waste generation rate in these hospitals was 3.93±3.44 kg/bed/day which included domestic waste (51.5%), infectious waste (45.6%) and sharp objects (2.9%). Lack of complete regulations for collection and on-site transport of wastes, the unsuitable treatment of hazardous wastes, disposal of hospital wastes along with house garbage (in 91.4% of hospitals), insufficient training of personnel (in 46% of hospitals), insufficient personal protective equipment (in 85% of hospitals) and lack of knowledge about their importance and use were the most important results. Conclusion: In order to improve the present situation, performing more research in the hospitals of the country on this matter as well as compilation of necessary rules and effective training of medical staff in this matter is recommended.
