Certificate in Health Care Waste Management (CHCWM)

With the careless disposal of medical waste and the increase of dangerous illnesses like AIDS and Hepatitis-B, there is a growing concern for bio-medical waste management on a global scale. Thus, it is crucial to educate various healthcare workers and professionals about the management of medical waste. The School of Health Sciences, IGNOU, and WHO, SEARO have created a Certificate Programme in Health Care Waste Management in the South-East Asia Region Countries to meet the needs of these healthcare professionals. The program's objectives are to educate the participants about the dangers of medical waste to our health and the environment, to familiarise them with South-East Asian countries' health care waste management laws, knowledge, and customs, and to give them the tools they need to manage medical waste safely and effectively.
