The National Guidelines For The Management Of Covid -19 Waste

Summary

Kenya faces the challenge of managing a massive increase in infectious waste, such as used PPE and medical supplies, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which poses significant public health and environmental risks if not properly handled. The National Environment Management Authority (NEMA) has responded by issuing National Guidelines for COVID-19 Waste Management, which outline comprehensive procedures for the segregation, packaging, storage, treatment, and disposal of all related medical waste. These guidelines are currently being implemented nationwide to ensure a clean and healthy environment for all citizens.
