Book synopsis

The aim of this research is to evaluate the management of Hospital Waste (HW) in the city of Matola, in particular the Matola Provincial Hospital (HPM). The method used to achieve the objectives was a quantitative, discrete qualitative and exploratory approach. To this end, the quantities of the types of waste generated were specifically determined, and management practices were assessed in accordance with current legislation at national level. It was concluded that the HPM generates several categories of waste, namely: common waste, infectious waste, sharps, chemical waste, radioactive waste and finally biological waste. The quantification of hospital waste generated at the HPM revealed a generation rate of 216.6 kg/day and 1083 kg/week. It should be noted that of the total generated each week, around 600 kg is non-hazardous waste and around 483 kg is hazardous. As far as hospital waste management practices at HPM are concerned, it can be concluded that they are not being carried out properly and therefore need to be more closely monitored. Although some of the practices required by current legislation in Mozambique have been observed.
