Techno-Economic Disposal of Hospital Wastes in Pakistan
September 14, 2006
Research paper titled Techno-Economic Disposal of Hospital Wastes in Pakistan written by Dr. Mohammad Rafiq Khan, Prof. Fareed Fareedi and Beenish Rashid of Lahore School of Economics has appeared in Pakistan Journal of Medical Research, Volume 45 No 2, 2006.
The findings suggest that there is no efficient system of disposal of solid hospital wastes in Pakistan. The workforce engaged in its disposal is ignorant and is in the worst socio-economic state and the employees are carrying out jobs as their socio-economic need as hereditary business and thus don’t have any job satisfaction in this business.
In spite of unfavorable socio-economic conditions, the turnover of employees for the disposal job is high, which can be due to attractive medical benefits and involvement in illegal practices that are source of some extra income for them.
