摘要

Hopefully, as we enter 2016, we have seen the end of Ebola Virus Disease (EVD] in Africa. The outbreak has killed 11,300 people across Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea and a further eight across the rest of the world. Sierra Leone was declared free of the disease on 7 November 2015, Guinea on 29 December 2015 and, hopefully, Liberia will have had the all-clear by the time you read this. These figures, although high, do not give a real indication of the quantity of healthcare waste generated throughout the outbreak. There were 28,637 confirmed cases of EVD, and all but eight were in Africa. The majority of cases were treated in Emergency Treatment Units (ETUs). The waste generated from the ETUs was difficult to manage due to the high volumes and lack of technology available in the region. Directly, the rapid EVD spread in West Africa has been linked to contagion with infected corpses and other contaminated EVD wastes exposed to family members and health workers caring for symptomatic EVD patients without adequate infection control measures. Consequentially, a high fatality rate was recorded within family members and healthcare workers exposed to EVD healthcare wastes.
