How medical waste is treated?
Off-Site Medical Waste Treatment
Off-site medical waste treatment is a far more cost-effective option for most small and mid-sized medical practices and facilities. Third-party vendors whose main business is healthcare waste collection and disposal have the equipment and training needed to handle the process. Vendors can collect the waste by Dubai Municipality approved vehicles and transfer the waste to a DM-approved treatment facility.
No matter where medical waste is processed, it’s ultimately treated by incineration, as per the local regulations in Dubai.
In the UAE, Veolia is committed to with over 90% of all infectious medical waste which are disposed of by incineration.
