Definition of medical waste:
Medical waste management personnel transport the classified and packaged medical waste from the place where the medical waste is produced to the temporary storage room in the hospital every day according to the prescribed route. In the process of transportation, medical waste leakage and direct contact with human body should be prevented. After the transportation every day, the means of transportation should be cleaned and disinfected in time.
The State Environmental Protection Administration defines medical waste as: directly or indirectly infectious, toxic and other harmful wastes generated by various medical and health institutions in prevention, health care, teaching, scientific research and other related activities, including wastes and patient excreta. These wastes are highly dangerous, and they contain dozens, hundreds or even thousands of times more germs or viruses than ordinary domestic wastes. They have played a role in the spread of the epidemic, and if they are not handled properly, they will certainly endanger people's health. ?
However, it is incredible that many medical and health units do not pay attention to the harm of medical waste and continue to discharge and treat medical waste at will; In order to pursue economic benefits, some medical units and medical personnel sell used disposable medical devices to waste recycling centers or individual vendors, and then the waste recycling centers and individual vendors handle them, package them into counterfeit disposable medical devices, and then sell them to small medical units and individual clinics, which has caused great harm to human health.
