Medical<\/a> waste<\/a> incineration<\/a> is a crucial process in healthcare facilities, as it helps to prevent the spread of diseases and reduce the risk of infection. However, if not managed properly, medical<\/a> waste<\/a> incineration<\/a> can pose significant risks to human health<\/a> and the environment. In this article, we will explore the best practices for mitigating the risks of medical<\/a> waste<\/a> incineration<\/a>, using the Cherang’any Health<\/a> Centre in Kenya as a case study.<\/p>\n
