Bio-medical waste management: situational analysis predictors of performances in 25 districts across 20 Indian States

摘要

Background & objectives:A legislative framework for bio-medical waste management (BMWM) was established in the country more than a decade ago. Though some studies have identified gaps at local levels, no systematic effort was done to collect data from different parts of the country. The objective of this nationwide study was to document existing resources, infrastructure and practices related to BMWM across the study districts.
