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

<\/p>\n

Medical<\/a> waste<\/a> poses a significant threat to public health<\/a>, as it can harbor pathogens, toxic substances, and other hazardous materials. In Kenya, the improper disposal<\/a> of medical<\/a> waste<\/a> has been linked to the spread of diseases, contamination of water sources, and environmental<\/a> degradation. The lack of adequate waste<\/a> management infrastructure in many healthcare facilities has exacerbated the problem, putting patients, staff, and the surrounding community at risk.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Solution: Ndugamano Dispensary’s Waste<\/a> Incinerator<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n
