- The proper management of biomedical waste has become a worldwide humanitarian topic today. Although hazards of poor management of biomedical waste have aroused the concern worldwide over, especially in the light of its far –reaching effects on human, health and the environment. Now it is well established fact that there are many adverse and harmful effects to the environment including human being which are caused by the “HOSPITAL WASTE” generated during the patient care. Hospital waste is a potential health hazards to the care workers, public, flora, fauna of the area. The problems of the waste disposal in the hospitals and other health care institutions have become issues of increasing concerns. This research article is to survey the practice of biomedical waste such as collection, storage, transportation, and disposal along with the amount of biomedical waste generated in two Hospitals of Gulbarga. The proper management methods have been employed in Government hospital. In Basaveshwara hospital there is no proper segregation of waste at the source of generation and all the wards don’t contain all the liners. In both the hospitals waste collected and disposed daily. It is highly desirable for a Hospital Administrator to know the weak points in the chain of waste management so that these could be addressed appropriately. Keeping this in view, the present study was conducted to assess generation and management of biomedical waste in Government General Hospital and Basaveshwara Hospital.
