In recent world the best way of protecting community health mainly depends onrnpreventive methods rather than curative means. Due to this reason, having goodrnsolid health-care waste management and disposal in every health-care center isrninevitable.rnThe present study is conducted in five systematically selected sample hospitals inrnAddis Ababa. The main objective of the study was to assess the impacts arose fromrnthe current health-care solid waste management, predict proper treatment andrndisposal mechanism and check the possibility of heat recovery during treatment ofrnwaste. The sampling method used is two-stage cluster sampling with 90 %rnconfidence level. In these sample hospitals, solid waste was collected for one weekrnfrom 84 randomly selected beds of the total occupied 505 beds. The mean wasterngeneration rate for the city was estimated to be 1.227Â± 0.253 Kg/ day. bed, like wisernthe generation rate for the private and governmental hospitals were estimatedrnapplying the same data. To achieve these results different statistical estimationrnmethods are used. On top of this, proper on site sorting was done in order tornperform proximate analysis to seven waste categories. Based on this analysis thernmaximum infected hospital waste in the city was estimated to be 662 Kg/day.Additionally, an attempt is done to address the overall solid waste managementrntrend all over the routes to disposal. Possible Environmental, health and socialrnimpacts are identified for every waste management route. Analyzing the data found,rnhealth, environmental and social impact has 37.7, 35.6, and 26.7% impactrncontribution respectively.rnTo identify the energy recovery of the treatment plant, secondary data from WHOrnthat gives the minimum calorific value for infectious waste and estimated totalrngeneration rate of infectious waste in the city was used to determine the energyrngeneration to be 104 Kg/hr, which is less than the capacity of medium sized steamrngenerator. Since the capacity of the energy is less, possible ways of utilizing thisrnsmall energy was suggested.rnFinally, based on the results and findings of the present study, certain solid wasternmanagement, treatment and disposal recommendations are forwarded to improvernthe management and minimize the impact of solid health-care waste in Addis Ababa.
