Absence of mechanism to dispose of hospital waste
July 4, 2021
Hospitals, clinics, and diagnostic centres in Rawalpindi dump their waste on the open spaces, rivulets, sewers and roadside bins posing a threat to public health.
As hospital waste carries bacteria, viruses, parasites, and fungus, its improper handling can expose people to deadly diseases such as tetanus, gangrene, hepatitis, HIV, and tuberculosis, medical experts say.
There are several public hospitals and many registered hospitals, clinics, and diagnostic centres in the city and these, except for a few, dump waste in open spaces pushing hundreds of people into deadly diseases apart from polluting the environment.
