Small hospitals are the grassroots for the big hospital structures, so proper waste management practices require to be initiated from there. Small hospitals contribute a lot in the health care facilities, but due to their poor waste management practices, they pose serious biomedical waste pollution. A survey was conducted with 13 focus questions collected from the 100 hospital present in Dehradun. Greater value of per day per bed waste was found among the small hospitals (178 g compared with 114 g in big hospitals), indicating unskilled waste management practices. Small hospitals do not follow the proper way for taking care of segregation of waste generated in the hospital, and most biomedical wastes were collected without segregation into infectious and noninfectious categories.
小医院是大医院结构的基层，因此需要从那里开始实施适当的废物管理措施。小医院在医疗设施方面做出了很大的贡献，但由于其废物管理措施不佳，它们造成了严重的生物医学废物污染。对 100 家位于德拉敦的医院进行了一项调查，共收集了 13 个重点问题。结果发现，小医院的日人均废物量较高（小医院为 178 克，大医院为 114 克），这表明其废物管理技术不够熟练。小医院没有遵循适当的方法来照顾医院产生的废物的分类，而且大多数生物医学废物在收集时没有按照传染性和非传染性类别进行分类。
