Biomedical waste Statistics
• Developed Countries- 1-5 kg/bed/day, with variations
among countries.
In India-
• 1-2 kg/bed/day with variation among
Govt. and Private establishments.
• Approximately 506.74 tons/ day wastes generated
• Out of which only 57% waste undergoes proper
disposal

OBJECTIVE OF BMW MANAGEMENT
• To minimize the production/generation of
infective waste.
• Recycle the waste after to the extent possible
• Treat the waste by safe environment
friendly/acceptable methods.
• Adequate care in handling to prevent health care
associated infections.
• Safety precautions during handling the BMW.
