Garissa County Level 5 Hospital Commissions New Modern Incinerator

Garissa County has taken a major step in safeguarding public health and the environment with the launch of a regional microwave incinerator and waste shredder at Garissa County Level 5 Hospital.

The cutting-edge equipment, unveiled on Thursday, can treat over 100 kg of hazardous waste per hour, ensuring proper disinfection, sealing, and shredding into compostable material. The waste is then sterilized at temperatures exceeding 100°C before being safely disposed.

The initiative aims to curb the dangers posed by open-air burning and careless disposal of medical waste, which can pollute rivers and harm ecosystems.

The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Garissa County Teaching and Referral Hospital (GCTRH) Mr. Mahat Sheikh Salah emphasized the urgent need to strengthen waste management systems to prevent future health crises.
