ABSTRACT
Health care waste disposal is one of the essential concerns for any developing country. People are traveling in the whole world, and the increasing population of the world leads to the healthcare sector’s rising prominence. Increment in the healthcare sector also increases healthcare waste. Due to the increment in waste, their disposal is a crucial matter. The health care waste generated from different hospitals is not entirely hazardous, so proper segregation must avoid transportation of all the waste to the incineration center. Varanasi is a highly dense city with lots of hospitals. A case study was performed in Varanasi to find the collection centers and optimize routes in Varanasi. A total of 20 collection centers were found, which will cover almost 200 hospitals in the city. This study will help the hospital management and the government take necessary action for effective management.
