Background<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

Kenya, like many other developing countries, faces significant challenges in managing medical<\/a> waste<\/a>. The lack of proper waste<\/a> disposal<\/a> facilities and inadequate waste<\/a> management practices have led to environmental<\/a> pollution<\/a>, health<\/a> risks, and the spread of diseases. The Kenyan government has recognized the need to address this issue and has set ambitious targets to improve waste<\/a> management and reduce the environmental<\/a> and health<\/a> impacts of poor waste<\/a> disposal<\/a>.<\/p>\n
