OBJECTIVE
To assess the amount of healthcare risk waste generated by health establishments in Saudi Arabia
METHODS
A healthcare waste management questionnaire was applied in 27 hospitals, and 16 primary health centres and clinics. The total quantity of healthcare risk waste collected in 24 hours in each of these establishments was weighed. Calculations were carried out to get hospitals rate of healthcare risk waste generation and primary healthcare centres risk waste generation. The total national estimate of healthcare risk waste production in kilograms/year for the whole health establishments in the Kingdom was then calculated.
RESULTS
The mean hospital healthcare risk waste rate of generation was 1.13+/-0.96 kg/bed/day. The mean primary healthcare centres and clinics healthcare risk waste rate of generation was 0.08+/-0.08 kg/visitor/day. The estimated mean amount of all healthcare risk waste generated in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is 25,207 tons/year.
CONCLUSION
Healthcare establishments in Saudi Arabia produce healthcare risk waste. Much care is given by the responsible authorities for the management of that type of waste. A program is being established to formulate standards for healthcare waste management
目的
评估沙特阿拉伯医疗机构产生的医疗风险废物量
方法
对27家医院以及16家初级卫生保健中心和诊所进行了医疗废物管理问卷调查。对这些机构中每家24小时内收集的医疗风险废物总量进行称重。计算得出医院的医疗风险废物产生率以及初级卫生保健中心的风险废物产生率。然后计算出沙特阿拉伯王国所有医疗机构每年以千克为单位的医疗风险废物产生总量的全国估计值。
结果
医院医疗风险废物的平均产生率为1.13±0.96千克/床/天。初级卫生保健中心和诊所医疗风险废物的平均产生率为0.08±0.08千克/访客/天。沙特阿拉伯王国产生的所有医疗风险废物的估计平均量为每年25207吨。
结论
沙特阿拉伯的医疗机构会产生医疗风险废物。相关负责部门对这类废物的管理给予了高度重视。目前正在制定一项计划，以制定医疗废物管理标准
