Healthcare Management

Guide to Health Care Waste Management for the Community Health Worker

---

Medical waste can be hazardous; if you do not dispose of it correctly, health personnel, waste handlers, and the community risk being seriously injured or infected. This is true no matter where you provide health care—at the facility or at the community level. Establishing good practices for proper handling and disposal of health care waste is an important part of the health care delivery system.
As part of an organized approach to infection control and environmental protection, you should strictly follow the handling and disposal procedures in this guide. However, if your country has national health care waste management (HCWM) guidelines, policies, and/or standards, you and other community health workers should know and follow the national guideline when managing health care waste.
