摘要

Clinical waste in Malaysia was handled in a similar manner as any other solid waste within the hospital before 1997. This practice together with the lack of adequate disposal sites resulted in various unfortunate incidents, such as abuse of needles by drug addicts and scavenging of body parts by stray dogs. Such incidents and increasing concerns about HIV spurred the Malaysian Ministry of Health and the Department of Environment to have clinical waste regulated under the Environmental Quality (Scheduled Wastes) Regulations 1989. The Ministry of Health also developed Guidelines on the Management of Clinical Waste and Other Related Wastes. However lack of resources and infrastructure were identified as impediments for full compliance with Malaysia's Environmental Quality (Scheduled Wastes) Regulations and international standards on good management practices for clinical waste. Hence a decision was taken in 1993 to privatise this service for the Ministry's 127 hospitals and institutions throughout the country. This unprecedented move, while providing a solution to the problem of managing clinical waste, presented a whole new set of challenges. These include among others project viability and sustainability as well as maintaining quality of service in the face of commercial pressures. This paper will describe how the concept of a national approach became a reality with a comprehensive clinical waste management service that has now become a showcase for the region, This paper will also describe how the problems encountered have been overcome through a unique combination of cooperation and partnerships, monitoring and enforcement as well as competition including the incidental benefits gained through this concept.
