Developing trends and facilities in healthcare are playing a key role in better hospital management. This hasalso become a driver for more biomedical waste generation. The waste produced in the course of healthcare activitiesneeds to be handled in an efficient way as inadequate and inappropriate knowledge of management of biomedical wastemay lead to serious consequences to patients, doctors, other persons involved and the environment. Every day, relativelylarge amount of waste is generated in the health care hospitals and facilities around the world which need properbiomedical waste management. The present article presents the basic issues as definition, categories, sources ofbiomedical waste and procedure of handling and disposal technologies of Biomedical Waste Management. It also intendsto create awareness amongst the personnel for the effective waste management in healthcare units.
