After the medical waste disposal has made up for the shortcomings, what are the new demands?

【Pharmaceutical Network Technical Article】"Spring Festival Time" opened, and many related topics were on the hot search, which is enough to prove its attention
.
Recently, many people are also concerned about the large-scale movement of people during the Spring Festival and whether the upcoming Spring Festival will cause a peak of infection and increase the risk of
the epidemic.
The Secretary for Medical Affairs of the National Health Commission responded that not necessarily, because many areas have passed the peak
.
Obviously, in recent times, everyone has paid attention to
medical and pharmaceutical related information.
For example, the just-concluded medical insurance negotiations, the above-mentioned Spring Festival, and the supply of medical resources in various places, etc.
, under such a situation, the disposal of medical waste naturally cannot be relaxed
.
Chizhou, the collection rate of epidemic-related medical waste is 100%, and the disposal rate is 100%; In Hefei, the emergency disposal capacity of medical waste was increased from 53 tons/day to 300 tons/day; Chongqing: The cost of medical waste disposal is included in the cost of medical services and cannot be charged separately to patients; Kaifeng, Nanning Shuangding Circular Economy Industrial Park medical waste disposal plant project started; The trial operation of the Xiangtan Medical Waste Centralized Disposal Center project and so on, these news came one after another
.
At a press conference in June 2022, the relevant person in charge of the Department of Solid Waste and Chemicals of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment said that in the past three months, by the end of 2021, there were 540 centralized disposal of medical waste across the country, with a centralized disposal capacity of 2.
15 million tons per year, an increase of 39%
compared with the end of 2019.
In 2021, a total of 1.
4 million tons of medical waste was disposed of nationwide, and all the medical waste generated was properly disposed of, and the medical waste related to the epidemic was cleaned up by Nissan
.
Medical waste, generally divided into infectious waste, injury waste, pathological waste, chemical waste and pharmaceutical waste five categories, in recent years, the national medical waste disposal capacity has been rapidly improved, playing an important role in "logistical support", this is undoubted
.
Of course, it should be acknowledged that 2020 is a very special crossroads
for medical waste disposal.
In February 2020, ten departments issued the "Work Plan for Comprehensive Treatment of Waste in Medical Institutions", requiring that by the end of June 2022, every county (city) will have completed a medical waste collection, transfer and disposal system
.
Then, in April, the "Implementation Plan for Capacity Building of Centralized Medical Waste Disposal Facilities" was introduced, followed by May, the National Health Commission, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and other seven departments jointly issued the "Notice on Carrying out Special Rectification of Waste in Medical Institutions", that is, from May to December
.
Focusing on the disposal of medical waste and cutting off the transmission route are very distinctive features
of 2020.
Subsequently, the National Development and Reform Commission allocated 1.
81 billion yuan in the central budget to support the construction of medical waste disposal facilities nationwide, mainly to support the emergency backup capacity building of medical waste disposal in large cities, the shortcoming and quality expansion of medical waste disposal capacity, and the capacity building of medical waste collection and transfer
.
Entering 2022, the country will focus on strengthening infrastructure, making up for shortcomings and reinforcing supervision
with the above goals.
On the one hand, the digital construction of medical waste disposal is in full swing, on the other hand, the upgrading of medical waste disposal from harmless to resource has made it more difficult to balance safety and resources, and the requirements for hazardous waste disposal enterprises are also higher
。 In terms of specifications, the Engineering Technical Code for Microwave Disinfection of Medical Waste (HJ 229-2021), the Engineering Technical Code for Centralized Treatment of Chemical Disinfection of Medical Waste (HJ 228-2021), the Engineering Technical Code for High Temperature Steam Disinfection Centralized Treatment of Medical Waste (HJ 276-2021), the Shanghai Code for the Classified Disposal of Medical Waste in Animal Diagnosis and Treatment Institutions (DB31/T 1344-2022), and the Shanghai Standards such as the Management Code for the Transport of Blood Transfusion Specimens and the Recycling of Waste Blood Bags in Medical Institutions (DB31/T 1335-2021) have been implemented
one after another.
Very special hazardous waste - medical waste needs to be properly disposed of, after the hazardous waste disposal capacity is basically completed to make up for the shortcomings, enhancing the hazardous waste supervision ability and enhancing the traceability of hazardous waste may become a new demand
