Medical (clinical) wastes are costl

Medical (clinical) wastes are costly in disposal and carry risks of infection, or physical injury, and of exposure to potentially harmfulpharmaceuticals, as well as being aesthetically unacceptable. Technological advances in disposal, together with the introduction of rigorousemission standards for incinerators and similarly stringent control standards for non-burn ''alternate'' disposal technologies, continueto drive improvements in waste management. Are these improvements attainable in developing countries?Where adequate resources and a robust infrastructure are lacking, investment in advanced disposal technologies may be counterproductive.Developments must be appropriate to and manageable by the communities served; sustainable low-technology approaches maybe preferable. There remains a need for affordable technical innovation, as well as underlying political support and international financialand technical assistance, to sustain meaningful improvements in waste management in remote and isolated regions and more generally indeveloping countries.
