Introduction to Sustainable Healthcare Waste Management<\/h2>\n

Sustainable healthcare waste management<\/a> is an essential aspect of healthcare provision. The World Health<\/a> Organization (WHO<\/a>) estimates that about 15% of medical<\/a> waste<\/a> is hazardous and requires special handling and disposal<\/a>. In Kenya, the healthcare sector generates a significant amount of waste<\/a>, which poses a risk to the environment and public health<\/a> if not managed properly.
