Propuesta de mejora de la gestión ambiental de los desechos sólidos generados en el área de laboratorio clínico del hospital de SOLCA portoviejo

Abstract

Human health centers are responsible for reducing and preventing disease outbreaks. Therefore, potentially pathogenic waste is generated, at the same time if the efficiency of the treatment is low and there is no technology to reduce risks in the final process, there are serious dangers to the health of staff, patients and the entire community. community. Consequently, the management of solid waste in hospitals is regulated by a legal framework, which consists of a wide range of regulatory instruments that define, formulate and inspect technical environmental and health aspects. The control mechanisms have sanctions for those groups that handle waste without any responsibility, unless they are entities and health committees responsible for environmental management. All in order to reduce the risks generated by hospital waste in the population in general. The control mechanisms have sanctions for those groups that handle waste without any responsibility, unless they are entities and health committees responsible for environmental management. All in order to reduce the risks generated by hospital waste in the general population. This research work is aimed at improving the environmental management of solid waste generated in the clinical laboratory area of the Solca hospital in the city. from Portoviejo. That is why we have proceeded to develop a study with an analysis and field, which aims to develop a proposal to improve the environmental management of solid waste. The purpose of this research is to propose improvement actions for the handling of solid waste generated.
