Mizoram: First bio-medical waste treatment plant
Medical waste from hospitals, clinics, and healthcare facilities in the district will be collected by a specialized waste truck, and the plant will handle the waste disposal. ASCL is scheduled to conduct a trial run in the AMC area for two months, while the Health & Family Welfare Department will oversee a trial run in Saitual district for the same duration.
The hospital waste management system includes four types of waste management processes: hazardous and infectious waste incineration plants, sterilization plants, waste treatment plants, and water and chemical air treatment plants. The newly inaugurated treatment plant features a cleaning facility, a specialized garbage collection system, and a 250KVA generator to ensure operation during power outages.
