National Policy

An important objective of national project activities in the Philippines involves reviewing relevant national healthcare waste management policies to ensure that they are based on the latest information about the best practices and technologies available for safely and effectively treating medical waste.

Where necessary, national project partners will seek agreement by relevant authorities on recommended updates or reformulations to national policies. National project activities in the Philippines will also involve seeking agreement on an implementation plan for any recommended policy updates and, if appropriate, the hosting of a policy review conference for these purposes.
