Abstract Disposal of medical or clinical waste into the environment can cause nosocomial and other environmental pollution. Treatment of medical or clinical waste requires modern technology and very high processing costs. Medical waste treatment requires innovation in processing medical waste to be easy to apply in health care facilities. For this reason, it is necessary to innovate antibacterial methods to clean bacteria. This study used an experimental design using a completely randomized design. The treatment was carried out by rinsing with sterile distilled water seven times, using 45% soil with a contact time of 2 minutes. Experiments in the study were carried out twice. The effect of treatment on decreasing the number of bacteria used a mathematical model of Multiple Linear Regression. The results show that the disinfection of infusion bottles is contaminated with bacteria. When using water only requires rinsing up to 6 times, it is sufficient to rinse only once if using a soil solution. Disinfection of infusion bottles contaminated with bacteria using soil solution was able to reduce the number of bacteria by 98%.

Introduction: The increase in medical waste in health service facilities in Indonesia is linearly consistent. The quantity of medical waste that causes a complex problem is a high cost of processing clinical waste. Legislation requires medical or clinical waste to be processed not to cause nosocomial and other environmental pollution. Medical or clinical waste treatment requires excessive technology and very high processing expenses. Processing medical waste requires innovation in processing medical waste to be applied easily in health care facilities (Public Health Center). Method: This research was conducted by simulating variations in the stages of processing medical waste used to be the Experiment Pre and Post Test only without Control Group design. Simulation variations used include contact time Chlorine (5 minutes, 10 minutes) and Chlorine Dose Variation (25 ppm, 50 ppm). This research was conducted in the Public Health Center of the City of Banjarbaru in 2018. Result and Discussion: The content of bacteriological numbers in medical waste before processing is, on average, 1,973 MPN / 100 ml; after being treated with MWT-P, the bacteria is reduced to 4 MPN/100 ml. The content of the liquid waste bacterial number of the final processing decreases to 0 MPN/100 ml. Conclusion: The study results concluded that the use of MWT-P decreases the quantity of medic or clinical waste microorganisms or bacteria. The final waste processing with MWT-P resulted in the number of medical waste bacteria in the treatment reaching zero. MWT-P is a low cost and easy to perform medical or clinical waste management tool. MWT-P is a stage of the B3 waste management framework, especially medical waste, in health care facilities.

Poor Management

Abstract Medical waste is all waste material generated in health care facilities, such as hospitals, clinics, physician’s offices, dental practices, blood banks, and veterinary hospitals/ clinics, as well as medical research facilities and laboratories. Poor management of health care waste potentially exposes health care workers, waste handlers, patients and the community at large to infection, toxic effects and injuries, and risks polluting the environment. It is essential that all medical waste materials have to be segregated at the point of generation, appropriately treated and disposed of safety.

Abstract Characteristics of Solid Medical Waste As long as the hospital as a health service provider is a source of solid medical waste generation. The current COVID-19 pandemic can potentially increase the number of medical waste generation in health care facilities. The COVID-19 pandemic has had an impact on changing the characteristics of the medical waste produced. This study describes the characteristics of hospital solid medical waste during the COVID-19 pandemic at the X Referral Covid Hospital in Semarang City. The study results show that the ratio of increasing solid medical waste during the 2020 pandemic ranges from 1.39 to 2.08 kg/bed/day. Handling medical waste in this condition is a challenge that needs to be appropriately managed.

Health Care Facilities (HCFs) are primarily saddled with the responsibilities of providing medical care, thus ensuring sound health of individuals. Tremendous efforts have been made by the government to ensure her availability in nooks and crannies of every community, which have resulted into improved medical services. However, among other environmental challenges confronting health care facilities in developing countries is Medical Waste generated in the course of carrying out their duties which is often ignored and in most instances treated as municipal or domestic solid waste. Effective management of medical waste requires keen planning, training and tracking throughout the waste generation, segregation, storage, collection, transportation, treatment and disposal processes. The fundamental information for selecting and designing the most efficient treatment method of medical waste is obtained by means of Waste Composition Analysis. Results from this study revealed that the daily waste generation rate of Ondo State Specialist Hospital Akure (OSSHA) and Mother and Child Hospital Akure (MCHA) was 124.5 kg/day. The hospitals’ waste consists of 81.6% combustible wastes and 18.4% non-combustible wastes by mass. The combustible wastes are paper (6.50%), textiles (14.34%), cardboard (3.88%), plastics (6.04%) and food waste (19.08%). Since the ratio of combustible medical waste is higher than non-combustible medical waste, incineration (thermal destruction) at elevated temperature under controlled operational condition is considered the best disposal option to detoxify the medical waste. In other to prevent the release of harmful gases from burnt medical waste through incinerator, a counter-current packed bed wet scrubber is designed which operates by impaction and absorption.
