My study aimed to evaluate the quantities, compositions, and the methods employed for handling, treating, and disposing of waste in diverse healthcare settings. Biomedical waste management is of utmost importance due to its potential inclusion of infectious agents and hazardous materials, with inadequate management posing risks to healthcare workers, patients, communities, and the environment. When appropriately designed and implemented, waste management practices can be both effective and efficient in ensuring compliance. This review article provides insights into the collection, segregation, treatment, and disposal of various types of biomedical waste.
