How We Manage Bio-Medical Waste:
Our bio-medical waste management system involves a comprehensive and transparent process to ensure the safety of patients, healthcare providers, students, and the surrounding community.
- Segregation at Source: Medical waste is segregated at the point of generation according to bio-medical waste categories, including infectious waste, sharps, pathological waste, etc.
- Safe Collection: Specialized color-coded bags and containers are provided across departments and labs to ensure proper disposal.
- Transportation: Medical waste is transported using secure, labeled vehicles to minimize risk of exposure and contamination.
- Documentation: Each color-coded bag is labeled with a barcode, weighed upon arrival at the Bio-Medical Waste Management Department, and the data is documented accordingly.
- Treatment & Disposal: We utilize state-of-the-art technologies, including incineration, autoclaving, and chemical disinfection, to neutralize bio-medical hazards.
- Monitoring: Continuous monitoring, documentation, and audits are performed to ensure adherence to bio-medical waste management protocols.
