Re: NACO: Accredition of Labs

In Melbourne infectious biomedical waste is treated with the utmost care and

special disposal methods are in place.

One would almost think the vehicles are carrying bullion such is the care

taken to prevent contamination and cross infection. Such would need to be

the case here because of increased numbers in the population but the process

does not need to be re-invented because it is already mapped. Colour coded

disposal containers, disposable without being emptied, carefully transported

to a specially designed location is all mapped. It simply needs replication

on a scale appropriate to India but I agree the disposal is as important as

the accreditation standards and they should all be part and parcel of the

processes of accreditation.
