The Problem of Healthcare Waste in Kenya<\/h2>\n

Healthcare facilities in Kenya generate a significant amount of waste<\/a>, including infectious and hazardous materials.

The lack of adequate waste<\/a> management infrastructure in many Kenyan hospitals has long been a concern, with many facilities resorting to burning<\/a> waste<\/a> in open pits or disposing of it in landfills, leading to environmental<\/a> and health<\/a> hazards.<\/p>\n
