This waste regardless of its origin and classification needs to be properly managed as it can lead to human, animal and environmental contamination. To prevent possible risks and damage related to this wastes all kinds of healthcare facilities must adopt the Waste Management Plan of Healthcare facilities, Plano de Gerenciamento dos Resíduos dos Serviços de Saúde (PGRSS).
