With the objective of assessing the level of awareness about the various aspects of biomedical waste and disposal practices by the medical practitioners this study was conducted. It was a cross sectional study. 30 hospitals with more than 30 beds minimum were randomly selected from Sabarkantha district, Gujarat. The doctors and auxiliary staff of those 30 hospitals were the study population. While all the doctors knew about the existence of the law related to biomedical waste but details were not known. Doctors were aware of risk of HIV and Hepatitis B and C, whereas auxiliary staff (ward boys, ayabens, sweepers) had very poor knowledge about it. There was no effective waste segregation, collection, transportation and disposal system at any hospital in the district. There is an immediate and urgent need to train and educate all doctors and the staff to adopt an effective waste management practices.
为了评估医学从业者对生物医疗废物各方面及处置方法的认知水平，开展了本研究。这是一项横断面研究。从古吉拉特邦萨巴坎塔区随机选取了至少拥有30张床位的30家医院。这30家医院的医生和辅助人员为研究对象。虽然所有医生都知道与生物医疗废物相关法律的存在，但具体细节并不清楚。医生们知晓艾滋病毒以及乙型和丙型肝炎的风险，而辅助人员（病房勤杂工、护理员、清洁工）对此了解甚少。该地区的任何一家医院都没有有效的废物分类、收集、运输和处置系统。迫切需要对所有医生和工作人员进行培训和教育，使其采用有效的废物管理做法。
