摘要

:与其他普通废物不同,医疗废物不仅对处理者、医务人员和病人的健康构成严重威胁,而且对环境也构成严重威胁。在发展中国家,由于缺乏训练有素的人员和缺乏采用适当的废物管理技术的资金,一般的废物管理,特别是来自卫生保健设施的医疗废物,受到严重忽视。在喀麦隆,关于医疗废物管理的数据很少。这激发了本文的动机,其目的是评估马鲁阿(公共和私人)卫生中心的医疗废物管理做法。该研究采用结构化问卷调查、观察清单和关键信息者访谈指南,分别从保健中心、地方议会和负责医院和废物管理的分散政府服务机构的小型卫生人员那里收集数据。有人指出,政府批准的保健中心数量少于实际在外地运作的保健中心。此外,大多数保健中心的管理人员还指定了一些人员或成立了管理废物的委员会。但他们几乎都对医疗废物管理程序知之甚少,因为他们主要是由其机构的管理人员而不是专家培训的。一般医疗废物管理做法,如分类、隔离、收集;处理和处置非常简陋,没有标准的规则。

Assessment of Medical Waste Management in Health Centers of Maroua-Cameroon
: Medical waste unlike other ordinary waste does not only poses serious health risk to the handlers, health staff andpatients but also to the environment. Waste management in general and particularly medical waste from health carefacilities is highly neglected in developing countries due to lack of trained personnel and lack of funds to adopt appropriate waste management technologies. In Cameroon, there is very little data available on the management of medical waste. This motivated this paper whose objective was to assess the medical waste managementpractices in health centers (public and private) in Maroua . The study used structured questionnaires, observation checklist and key informant interview guide to collect data fromall health personnel in health centers, local councils and decentralized government services in charge of hospitals and waste management respectively. It was observed that the number of health centers authorized by government is less than those actually operating in the field. Also managers of most health centers have designated some of their personnel or created commissions to manage waste. But nearly all of them have very little knowledge on medical waste management procedures as they are mainly trained by managers of their structures rather than experts. Generally medical waste management practices such as sorting, segregation, collection; treatment and disposal were very rudimentary and obeyed no standard rules.
