PacWaste country profile - FSM

In FSM, PacWaste conducted a healthcare waste management baseline survey in April 2014, through which information was collected on current waste management processes at the country’s four largest hospitals – Yap State Hospital, Chuuk State Hospital, Pohnpei State Hospital and Kosrae State Hospital. The survey found that healthcare waste segregation and containment practices were generally below minimum standard at all four sites, with signage and healthcare waste treatment in need of improvement. This country profile documents a brief overview of waste in FSM.
