Doctors say waste collected once in 2-3 days, flag possible infection
DOCTORS have voiced concerns of infection spreading as bio medical waste generated in the taluk government hospitals is not cleared in the last 24 hours. They claimed that the private contract agency which collects the waste picks it up once in two or three days. By the time, foul smell from the waste pervades the hospitals even though the waste is securely packed and stored in a separated place, they say.
Speaking to TNIE, secretary of the association Dr Ilamaran said, "Collection of biomedical waste and safe disposal is a challenge for waste management agencies. While there aren't any problems at the Madurai Medical College (MMC), hospitals located in remote areas face problems in disposing biomedical waste on time."
