Rehoboth Maternity, a healthcare facility in Kenya, has been at the forefront of providing quality medical<\/a> services to its patients. However, like many other healthcare facilities in developing countries, it faces numerous challenges in managing its medical<\/a> waste<\/a>. The improper disposal<\/a> of medical<\/a> waste<\/a> poses significant risks to patients, healthcare workers, and the environment.

Incineration<\/a> involves the combustion<\/a> of waste<\/a> at high temperatures, reducing its volume and killing pathogens. Rehoboth Maternity has implemented a waste<\/a> incineration<\/a> system to manage its medical<\/a> waste<\/a> effectively.
