A study was conducted to evaluate the current status of hospital waste management in Satna city. Through this investigation, it has been quite evident that a satisfactory hospital waste management system in government hospitals and private clinic is severely lacking. The waste is generally dumped in a public place, such as the hospital surroundings, roadside or city corporation dustbin. Laboratory analysis shows existing contamination of infectious agent in the environment. The study indicates that there is a need to improve handling and disposal methods of hospital waste in almost all the available medical facilities.
