Pages

  286-291

Abstract

 Background: Non-standard management of medical waste leads to irreparable side effects. This issue is of double importance in health care centers in a city which are the most extensive system for providing PRIMARY HEALTH CARE (PHC) across Iran cities. This study investigated the medical waste management standards obser-vation in Tabriz community health care centers, northwestern Iran. Methods: In this triangulated cross-sectional study (qualitative-quantitative), data collecting tool was a valid checklist of waste management process developed based on Iranian medical waste management standards. The data were collected in 2015 through process observation and interviews with the health center’ s staff. Results: The average rate of waste management standards observance in Tabriz COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTERs, Tabriz, Iran was 29. 8%. This case was 22. 8% in dimension of management and training, 27. 3% in separating and collecting, 31. 2% in transport and temporary storage, and 42. 9% in sterilization and disposal. Lack of prin-cipal separation of wastes, inappropriate collecting and disposal cycle of waste and disregarding safety tips (fer-tilizer device performance monitoring, microbial cultures and so on) were among the observed defects in health care centers supported by quantitative data. Conclusion: Medical waste management was not in a desirable situation in Tabriz COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTERs. The expansion of COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTERs in different regions and non-observance of standards could pre-dispose to incidence the risks resulted from MEDICAL WASTES. So it is necessary to adopt appropriate policies to promote waste management situation.
