Bio-Medical Waste Management Rules 2016- (Ministry of Environment and Forests) (27 Mar 2016)

MANU/ENVT/0063/2016

Environment

The government has heralded the Bio-Medical Waste (Management and Handling) Rules 2016 as bringing a sea change in the way bio-medical waste will be managed in the country. Saliently, the new Rules rope in a wider gamut of healthcare activity and propagate training and immunisation for healthcare workers. The Rules also attempt consolidation of waste disposal activities within a certain radius by prohibiting generators of bio-medical waste from setting up an on-site treatment if such a facility is available within a 75 km radius.
