Kuja Dispensary, a rural healthcare facility in Kenya, has taken a significant step towards improving the management of healthcare waste<\/a> in the country. The dispensary has installed a state-of-the-art waste<\/a> incinerator<\/a>, which is playing a crucial role in the implementation of Kenya’s National Healthcare Waste Management<\/a> Strategy.
