Since the management and handling of Biomedical wastes is governed by the Biomedical Waste (Management & Handling) Act and Rules 1998 the hospital waste is disposed of as per norms of the pollution control board. Segregation at source is strictly implemented and disposed of in earmarked, colour-coded bins. The trained house- keeping staff collects them and disposes it to the central collection point which is lifted by an authorised biomedical waste disposal unit every 24 hours.
