18. CONCLUSION Safe and effective management of bio-medical waste is not only a legal necessity but also a Social Responsibility. Bio-Medical Waste Management cannot successfully be implemented without the willingness, devotion, self-motivation, cooperation and participation of all sections of employees of any health care establishment. If we want to protect our environment and health of the community we must see ourselves to this important issue not only in the interest of health managers but also in the interest of community.
