National Health Care Waste Management Plan 2009/10- 2011/12
Summary
              Healthcare waste management (HCWM) in Uganda is well below minimum hygiene standards and as a result, healthcare workers, patients, and communities are exposed to nosocomial infections both within Healthcare Facilities (HCFs) and the surrounding communities. Furthermore, negative impacts on Uganda’s natural resources (air, soil, and water) occur when healthcare wastes are disposed of improperly.
