ABSTRACT

One of the essential human rights is to live in a clean environment that is free of pollution. Healthcare facilities are considered sources of environmental pollution due to the discarding of biomedical waste. Inadequate management of biomedical waste induces risk to human health and the environment. The management of biomedical waste is a serious concern and has become a major challenge in developing countries. Therefore, the disposal of biomedical waste must be carried out under a well-controlled system to control this hazardous waste (Singh 2001; Bokhoree et al. 2014).
