We studied medical waste management in a Palestinian hospital in the West Bank and the role of municipality in this management. In general, "good management practices" were inadequate; there was insufficient separation between hazardous and non-hazardous wastes, an absence of necessary rules and regulations for the collection of wastes from the hospital wards and the on-site transport to a temporary storage location inside and outside the hospital and inadequate waste treatment and disposal of hospital wastes along with municipal garbage. Moreover, training of personnel was lacking and protective equipment and measures for staff were not available. No special landfills for hazardous wastes were found within the municipality.
我们研究了约旦河西岸一家巴勒斯坦医院的医疗废物管理情况以及市政当局在这种管理中的作用。总体而言，“良好管理做法”并不充分；危险废物和非危险废物之间的分类不足，缺乏从医院病房收集废物并将其现场运至医院内外临时储存地点的必要规章制度，医院废物与城市垃圾的处理和处置不足。此外，人员培训缺乏，工作人员的防护设备和措施也没有。在市政当局范围内未发现专门的危险废物填埋场。
