Author(s): Rajat Kumar Singh

Abstract
Improper management of biomedical waste which is produced from healthcare operations may result in substantial environmental and health hazards. This research project examines the existing regulatory frameworks and control methods for biomedical waste evaluating their efficacy and pinpointing areas that should be improved. The research used a mixed-methods approach including qualitative interviews with regulatory authorities and healthcare practitioners and quantitative analysis of waste management data from different healthcare institutions. The key results indicate inconsistencies in adherence to current standards and differences in waste management methods which are impacted by variables such as the size and location of the facility. The study emphasises the need for increased implementation of uniform procedures improved educational initiatives and more rigorous regulatory measures. Suggested measures including implementing cutting-edge waste treatment technology enhancing involvement of relevant parties and establishing a cohesive legislative framework to expedite waste management procedures. The objective of this initiative is to enhance public health and environmental sustainability by offering practical insights for policymakers and healthcare administrators.
