Maha: Private Hospitals to be charged for Biomedical Waste based on Number of Beds
The Maharashtra government has announced a new policy designed to boost environmental sustainability and enhance public health safety. This initiative is set to be implemented in the coming months, this initiative represents a significant step towards more accountable and effective management of biomedical waste across the state.
Under this policy, private hospitals will be required to cover the costs of biomedical waste management following the number of beds they operate. This fee structure, which will be in place for three years, was introduced following a policy change in 2016. The policy mandates that hospitals contribute financially towards the management of their biomedical waste, a move that was met with opposition from the hospital sector. The Union Minister of Environment, Forests, and Climate Change has endorsed this policy as a measure to ensure better waste management and environmental protection.
