 VietNamNet Bridge – Hoping to turn an idea into reality, six people with the same drive and passion devoted their time to finding the optimal solution to a daily rubbish problem.

VietNamNet Bridge - Many healthcare establishments that skip necessary procedures in treating waste could face closure.

The local media has reported that tens of tons of hazardous medical waste that would have been destroyed under strict procedures at licensed facilities were recycled at Vietnam’s largest and most prestigious hospital, Bach Mai Hospital in Hanoi. 

 The Ministry of Health has approved a project on hospital waste treatment in the central province of Quang Binh at a cost of $1.28 million sourced by the World Bank’s preferential loan.

Only 22 out of 35 central hospitals signed contracts with environment service companies on treating solid waste, while another 13 hospitals treated the waste themselves. Of these, six treated waste with incinerators and seven with chemicals.

 VietNamNet Bridge – Medical waste can be a serious health threat if not treated properly, but few Vietnamese hospitals have invested in the process.

Local authorities all stated they would allocate budgets for building medical waste incinerators. However, medical waste still has not been treated.
