Model Facilities
One key objective of national project activities in the Philippines is to establish model facilities and programs to exemplify best practices in healthcare waste management. Because the problems in healthcare waste management stem from a failure of both practice and technology, this project is addressing this challenge in the Philippines and elsewhere by demonstrating an alternative systems approach to healthcare waste management.
