BIOMEDICAL WASTE DISPOSAL AND INFECTION CONTROL COMMITTEE OF THE MIEGH

At Mehboob International Eye and General Hospital (MIEGH), we recognize the significance of proper biomedical waste disposal and effective infection control measures. To ensure the highest standards of hygiene and safety, we have established a dedicated Biomedical Waste Disposal and Infection Control Committee.

This committee consists of representatives from all departments within the hospital, including medical professionals, nursing staff, administrative personnel, and environmental services staff. By bringing together individuals from different areas of expertise, we create a holistic approach to managing biomedical waste and preventing the spread of infections.

The committee meets every 15 days to evaluate and implement infection control protocols and procedures. During these meetings, the members discuss ongoing initiatives, review existing practices, and identify areas for improvement. We believe that regular meetings are essential for maintaining a proactive approach to infection control and ensuring that all staff members are aware of their responsibilities.

One of the primary focuses of the committee is to establish guidelines and protocols for the proper disposal of biomedical waste. We strictly adhere to national regulations and standards to ensure the safe handling, segregation, transportation, and disposal of all biomedical waste generated within the hospital premises. Our goal is to minimize the environmental impact and potential health risks associated with improper waste disposal.

In addition to waste management, the committee also monitors and implements various infection control measures throughout the hospital. This includes maintaining a clean and sanitized environment, promoting hand hygiene practices, conducting regular training sessions for staff, and implementing stringent measures to prevent the spread of infectious diseases.

By emphasizing the importance of biomedical waste disposal and infection control, we strive to create a safe and healthy environment within MIEGH. Our committee’s commitment to regular meetings, representation from all departments, and adherence to established protocols ensures that infection control remains a top priority in our hospital operations.

We continuously strive to improve our practices and stay updated with the latest advancements in infection control and waste management. Through the collaborative efforts of our staff and the guidance of the committee, we are confident in our ability to provide a safe and hygienic healthcare environment for all our patients and healthcare professionals.

If you have any questions or concerns regarding our biomedical waste disposal or infection control measures, please feel free to reach out to our committee members or contact our hospital administration.

Together, let us work towards maintaining a safe and healthy environment for everyone at MIEGH.

Sincerely,
Dr. Muhammad Junaid
