The Problem of Medical Waste<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

Medical<\/a> waste<\/a>, including hazardous materials such as needles, syringes, and infectious waste<\/a>, poses a significant threat to public health<\/a> and the environment if not disposed of properly. In Kenya, the lack of proper waste<\/a> management infrastructure has led to the proliferation of dumpsites and the burning<\/a> of waste<\/a> in the open, which has serious environmental<\/a> and health<\/a> implications.<\/p>\n
