重大疫情期间医疗废物应急处置中的问题及建议

Abstract:The medical waste disposal is necessary to stop the spread of infectious diseases. When the epidemic diseases occur, the normal way of collecting, transferring and treating medical waste can’t handle the sharply increased amount of medical waste. After analyzing the management status of medical waste and the characteristics of medical waste generated during the epidemic outbreak period in our country, the problems of safe management of medical waste in emergencies and their causes were discussed. In order to improve the capacity of medical waste disposal in emergencies and ensure that all medical waste could be disposed promptly and safely during major epidemic, a set of proposals were given as follows: building a medical waste management model, a medical waste disposal system in emergencies and medical waste emergency management agency at national and provincial levels, as well as preparing facilities for treating emergency medical waste.
