MEDICAL WASTE MANAGEMENT AND MANAGEMENT OF WASTE DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC

Year 2023, Volume: 10 Issue: 1, 258 - 285, 31.01.2023

Abstract

Günümüz dünyanında sanayileşmenin de etkisiyle çevre sorunları her geçen gün artmakta, buna bağlı olarak da canlıların hayatını ve yaşam ortamlarını ciddi olarak tehdit etmektedir. Hızlı nüfus artışı, kaynaklarımızın bilinçsizce kullanılması ve tüketim ihtiyaçlarının artması atık sorununu gündeme getirmektedir. Oluşan bu atıklar insan ve çevre sağlığı açısından ciddi tehdit oluşturmaktadır. Bu konudaki en önemli tehdit unsuru ise saglik kuruluşlarından kaynaklı tibbi atıklardır. Sağlık hizmetlerinin, sağlık problemlerini azaltma ve insan sagligina yönelik potansiyel riskler ortadan kaldırma amaçlarını gerçekleştirmek için tehlikeli atıklar ortaya çıkarması kaçınılmazdu. Sağlık kuruluşlarının faaliyetleri esnasında uretilen atıklar diger atıklara gore daha fazla yaralanma mki ve daha yüksek enfeksiyon riskı taşırlar Tum atık türlerinin toplanması, depolanması, taşınması ve bertarafi ya da geri kazanılması için güvenli ve güvenilir yöntemler kullanılmalıdır. Tıbbi atıkların yetersiz ve uygunsuz muamelesi, ciddi halk sağlığı sonuçları yaratabilir ve çevre üzerine olumsuz etkiler yapabilir. Bu yüzden Tıbbi Atık Yönetimi yerine Güvenli Tibbi Atık Yönetimi kavramı özellikle insan ve çevre sağlığı açısından çok önemli bir hale gelmiştir. 2019 yılının sonlarına doğru başlayan ve hala yoğun bir şekilde devam eden Covid-19 salgını bir kez daha göstermiştir ki tıbbi atıkların kontrollü ve güvenli bir şekilde yönetilmesi dünyamız için bir zorunluluk olmaktan daha fazlasıdır. Bu yüzden bu konu ile ilgili tüm mevzuatların gözden geçirilmesi, gerekli düzenlemeler yapıldıktan sonra güncellenmesi artık kaçınılmaz olmuştur. Kısa ve uzun vadede etkili tibbi atık yönetim programlarını uygulayabilmek için multisektörel işbirliği ve her düzeyde etkileşim gereklidir. Politikalar global olarak düzenlenmeli ve yönetim uygulamaları yerel olarak yerine getirilmelidir. Ulusal politikaların yasal çerçevede desteklenmesi, personelin eğitimi ve vatandaşın duyarlılığının artırılması tibbi atık yönetiminin temel unsurları olmalıdır.

MEDICAL WASTE MANAGEMENT AND MANAGEMENT OF WASTE DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC

Year 2023, Volume: 10 Issue: 1, 258 - 285, 31.01.2023

Abstract

As a result of industrialization, environmental concerns are escalating in today's globe, posing a grave threat to the lives and living conditions of all living beings. Rapid population increase, careless use of our resources, and rising consumer demands all contribute to the problem of waste. These wastes represent a grave danger to both human and environmental health. The most significant hazard in this respect is health institution-generated medical waste. To fulfill their objectives of lowering health issues and removing possible dangers to human health, it was unavoidable that health services would create hazardous waste. Compared to other pollutants, the wastes generated by health facilities provide a greater risk of harm and illness. All sorts of garbage should be collected, stored, transported, and disposed of or recovered using safe and dependable means. Inadequate and incorrect management of medical waste can have detrimental implications on human health and the environment. Instead of Medical Waste Management, the notion of Safe Medical Waste Management has become crucial, especially in terms of human and environmental health. The Covid-19 pandemic, which began near the close of 2019 and is currently raging with ferocity, has demonstrated once more why the regulated and secure treatment of medical waste is more than a requirement in our global community. As a result, it has become imperative to evaluate and revise all legislation pertaining to this topic after the required provisions have been completed. Short- and long-term implementation of efficient medical waste management programs requires multisectoral cooperation and engagement at all levels. Global policies should be controlled, but local management methods should be adopted. Medical waste management should focus primarily on supporting national policies within the legal framework, training people, and educating citizens.
