Hazardous wastes
I am quite hopeful to read the article “Hospitals Continue to Dispose Hazardous Wastes in Public Bins”. (Source: The Daily Star, 20 Feb). While the entire world, including Asia, is engaged in controlling wastes, you have at least raised the voice against medical wastes!
While there is a global concern about minimizing all kind of waste products; no in depth study and action on medical wastes is underway in our country.
I urge the Solid Waste Management Division of Dhaka City Corporation (DCC) to be active on medical waste management and develop a strategy to follow the ADB suggested 3 Rs Reducing the amount of waste, Refusing items that are now being discarded, & Recycling materials.
