Resumo(s)
This article reports a study in Greater Accra and Eastern Region, to assess knowledge and practices related to biomedical waste (BMW) handling and disposal in six health care facilities (HF) in Ghana. The results showed a significant knowledge gap in handling expired blood units, human tissue, and liquid BMW. Of the respondents, 87.0% revealed inadequate procedural knowledge in disposing of liquid BMW, with only 19.6% inspecting it; and 82.2% of the respondents demonstrated insufficient knowledge of handling expired blood units. Intensive training in handling of BMW is required to produce adequate understanding of procedural guidelines.
