PART-I PROJECT BACKGROUND

1 PROJECT BACKGROUND
1.1 INTRODUCTION

The Redemption Hospital is a Public hospital that bears one of the heaviest burdens of patients in the Country. The structure that is now a hospital was originally a market building that was transformed into a hospital in 1982 by the people’s Redemption Council (PRC). Its initial bed capacity was 50 but this number has grown over the years especially during the civil crisis when Medicines Sans Frontiers (MSF) Belgium operated and expanded the facility. The current bed capacity is 150. The hospital also has a nine – bed integrated severely infection unit (INSITU) which is used for isolation of suspected and confirmed cases of epidemics potential such as hemorrhagic viral fever, measles, rabies etc. The catchment population is about 400, 000 with referral coming from the western counties which include: Grand Cape Mount, Bomi and Gbapolu. The hospital serves diverse groups of patients on a free service basis. The services offered are concentrated in two categories: Outpatient care and Inpatient care. Services offered in the Outpatient department include: general consultations for pediatrics and child health, maternal and reproductive health, surgery, internal medicine. Other specialized services are: Dental, Ophthalmology, Mental Health, Sexual & Gender based violence (SGBV), Family planning, HIV and AIDS & TB Clinics. The Inpatient department offers services in Pediatrics which include Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) and Malnutrition, Maternal and Reproductive health, General Surgery and Internal Medicine. The Emergency Medicine Department offers 24hrs of emergency care as well as free ambulance service. Imaging procedures include X-ray, Ultrasonogram, Mammogram, Endoscope, Colposcope etc. The Redemption Hospital, being one of the major hospitals in the country, is producing huge quantity of solid waste up to an estimated 300Kg/Day due to the high number of patient flow at the hospital. The hospital has an incinerator and an autoclave installed for the disposal of its solid waste but are currently not functional.

Due to the breakdown of these equipment, the hospital now relies on the alternative of burial pits or open-air burning for the disposal of healthcare waste. These disposal methods are not the recommended practice for the safe and appropriate management of healthcare waste. Even the controlled disposal of wastes on a secured landfill site is not viable if the wastes are not segregated adequately. Disposal of placenta and other pathological waste in nonengineered pits could also contaminate groundwater, the source of drinking water for the communities. In an effort to improve the above-mentioned situation, the MoH with the support of GIZ has identified as its fundamental objective to treat and dispose the infectious waste generated from the healthcare facilities efficiently and economically without damaging human health and environment. The repair of both incinerators and autoclave as well as the rehabilitation of the drainage and waste zone will further the aforesaid objective of economically disposing infectious waste from the hospital thus contributing to the betterment of the hospital’s waste management in New Kru Town Community.
