	FAQs: Waste Management for COVID-19 in Healthcare Settings for Africa African Union; Africa CDC Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (2022) CC View PDF(36) Download (37) Add to my MEDBOX Health care waste can be difficult to treat and dispose of safely. The environmental and health impacts of waste put extra pressure on resources. Therefore, it is important to try and reduce the quantities of waste wherever possible. Ensure waste is segregated properly at the point of disposal. It is cheaper and easier to manage general waste through a municipal waste system than infectious or sharps waste which needs treatment before final disposal. Organic general wastes like food and paper can be composted rather than being wasted. Non- hazardous general waste may also be sorted for recycling Tags: Waste management, waste disposal, Healthcare facilities, Source: https://africacdc.org/download/faqs-wast
