Abstract
Biomedical waste poses a significant threat to human health and the environment if not managed properly. This research investigates the current state of biomedical waste management in Rajnandgaon district, Chhattisgarh, India. It explores practices employed by healthcare facilities for segregation, storage, transportation, and disposal of biomedical waste. The adherence to regulations established by the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) will be a key focus.The research aims to identify challenges faced by healthcare facilities in Rajnandgaon regarding biomedical waste management. These challenges may include lack of awareness, resource constraints, or inadequate infrastructure. Additionally, the research will explore existing mechanisms for treatment and disposal of biomedical waste in the district. This includes the presence and utilization of Common Bio-Medical Waste Treatment Facilities (CBMWTFs) established by the government.The research will employ a mixed-method approach, combining surveys with healthcare facilities and interviews with relevant stakeholders. Data analysis will assess the effectiveness of current practices and identify areas for improvement. The research findings will provide valuable insights to policymakers, healthcare administrators, and waste management companies. It will contribute to the development of more efficient and sustainable biomedical waste management systems in Rajnandgaon district, ensuring the protection of public health and the environment
