In view of the
growing menace of bio-medical waste, Government Rajindra Hospital has
constituted a 17-member team headed by Dr Jatinder Kumar Kansal, an
eye-specialist.
Medical
superintendent Dr Manjit Kaur Mohi announced this at a seminar on
'bio-medical waste management' organised at the hospital here on
Saturday.
The seminar,
attended by 200 doctors and staff members, was meant to spread
awareness about various aspects of biomedical waste. Expert Dr Jagbir
Singh explained the ill effects of the waste in hospitals.
Dr Kansal with his
team will regularly conduct inspections, training and reinforcement
among doctors, staff and public at large. “It is the moral
responsibility of the service provider, patients, staff and public at
large to keep environment clean,“ said Dr Kansal. A Ludhiana-based MNC
was present on the occasion, which will participate in the bio-medical
waste management programme at the hospital.
