How to deal with medical waste

How to deal with such dangerous medical waste? China's "Regulations on the Management of Medical Waste" stipulates that "the state shall implement centralized and harmless disposal of medical waste" and require "local people's governments at or above the county level to be responsible for the organization and construction of centralized facilities for the disposal of medical waste" and to collect, transport, store, Disposal and other aspects made detailed provisions. However, some medical waste actually after a simple classification, it became a children's toys and tableware. This is obviously a joke on public health and life, as well as a neglect of laws and regulations.

how so? One is to add a profit why not; for some individuals or businesses, the acquisition of such a "raw material" from the hospital, the profits made by cheaper prices greatly. Second, the lack of supervision. The Regulations on the Management of Medical Waste clearly stipulate that "all units and individuals should not forbid the transfer or sale of medical waste". However, from the news reports, the "transfer, sale and purchase of medical waste" clearly failed to be effectively regulated, let alone "banned." It can be said that it is the relevant regulators on the medical waste centralized disposal process supervision is not in place or absent, not only for medical waste smoothly "go" to the table, but also contributed to unscrupulous hospitals and businesses and individuals by the profit-making behavior, Let the sale of medical waste more presumptuous.

This fact once again shows that under the drive of interests, moral self-discipline is often not very reliable; without strict enforcement, laws and regulations often become dead leaves. Therefore, it is the key to cut off the chain of interests and prevent the medical waste from becoming cutlery toys, compared with hitting and punishing unscrupulous hospitals, individuals and enterprises afterwards and effectively enforcing laws and regulations. For example, we should establish and improve the supervision and supervision mechanism to promote the health and environmental protection departments to work together and make concerted efforts to completely plug the loopholes in the loss of medical waste from all aspects; for example, innovative regulatory measures should be taken to track the medical waste disposal, So that the reselling of medical junk can not be hidden, and so on. The key to this is to really strengthen the accountability so that the law enforcement departments responsible for the dereliction of duty and malfeasance, the regulatory authorities and their staff members are punished accordingly, forcing them to shoulder the responsibility of strictly enforcing the law and stepping up their supervision.
