Ndathi Dispensary’s Waste<\/a> Incinerator<\/a>: A Step Towards Achieving the United Nations<\/a>’ Sustainable Development Goals in Kenya<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In a bid to promote sustainable development and reduce environmental<\/a> pollution<\/a>, Ndathi Dispensary in Kenya has taken a significant step towards achieving the United Nations<\/a>’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

The Problem of Medical<\/a> Waste<\/a> in Kenya<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Medical<\/a> waste<\/a> is a significant problem in Kenya, with many healthcare facilities struggling to manage their waste<\/a> effectively. The lack of proper waste<\/a> management systems has led to environmental<\/a> pollution<\/a>, health<\/a> risks, and the spread of diseases. According to the World Health<\/a> Organization (WHO<\/a>), approximately 15% of medical<\/a> waste<\/a> is hazardous and requires special handling and disposal<\/a>. In Kenya, the majority of medical<\/a> waste<\/a> is disposed of in landfills or through open burning<\/a>, which can release toxic chemicals into the air and water.<\/p>\n
