Kenya’s Environmental<\/a> Regulations<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In Kenya, the management of medical<\/a> waste<\/a> is regulated by the Environmental<\/a> Management and Coordination Act (EMCA) of 1999. The Act requires healthcare facilities to ensure that their waste<\/a> management practices do not harm the environment or human health<\/a>. The National Environmental<\/a> Management Authority (NEMA) is responsible for enforcing the regulations and ensuring compliance.<\/p>\n
