Title A name given to the resource Intensity of hospital waste generation and disposal in the selected hospitals in Kerala, India: an analysis based on hospital ownership Subject The topic of the resource Disposal; Hospital waste generation rate; Hospital waste management; Ownership-wise; Treatment Description An account of the resource Management of hospital wastes has been considered as an integral part of hospital hygiene and infection control, which in turn depends on the intensity of waste generation and disposal. This study analyses the ownership-wise intensities of hospital waste generated, treated and disposed in the selected hospitals in the state of Kerala, India. These intensities are examined using secondary data collected from four districts of Kerala for the period from 2010 to 2014. The intensity of hospital waste generation is measured on the basis of per bed per kilogram per day and also per patient per kilogram per day basis. The study shows that private hospitals are producing significantly higher amount of waste than government and co-operative hospitals. However, private hospitals are found to be more efficient compared to government hospitals in treating and disposing the hospital waste. It is also found that the co-operative hospitals are well-organized in treating and disposing the liquid waste compared with other hospitals in Kerala. 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Nature Japan KK, part of Springer Nature.
