What to include in your medical waste bag?
Medical Waste: (definition as per Federal law no. 24)
Any waste made in whole or part of human tissue, animal tissue, blood or other body liquids, secretions, drugs or other pharmaceutical products, bandages, syringes, needles or other medical sharp objects, or any other waste whether contagious chemical or radioactive produced by medical activities, nursing, treatment, medical care, dental, veterinary or pharmaceutical or processed activities or others, tests, research works or study materials or sampling or storage of the same.
Some actual examples of medical waste items generated by these types of facilities can include:
-
Anything that is soaked in blood (gloves, gauze, gowns, etc.)
-
Human or animal tissues created during procedures
-
Cultures of infectious diseases/agents
-
Any waste produced in patient’s rooms with communicable diseases
-
Discarded vaccines
Medical waste often contains bodily fluids like blood or other contaminants. Medical Waste is defined as “waste generated during medical research, testing, diagnosis, immunization, or treatment of either human beings or animals”. Some examples are culture dishes, glassware, bandages, gloves, discarded sharps like needles or scalpels, swabs, and tissue.
No sharp objects can be directlty disposed in the medical waste bags. A dedicated sharp box is available for that purpose. Fill your sharp boxes and then closed them properly before paking them in your yellow bags.
How Medical Waste are 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.
