Figure 4
The image contains three pie charts. Panel A shows the internal transport methods to various storage or collection points within healthcare facilities (HCFs). The chart indicates that 50 percent of the transport is to proper storage, 29 percent to a collection point, and 21 percent directly to the open-burning site. Panel B illustrates the external transport methods from HCFs to the BCH, with 44 percent using municipal services, 43 percent using their own vehicles, and 13 percent using company services. Panel C presents the reported issues by HCFs, where 44 percent cite transport service issues, 22 percent risk perception, 12 percent segregation problems, 10 percent anatomical pit issues, 7 percent storage problems, 3 percent open burning, and 2 percent report nothing. The charts collectively highlight the challenges and practices in waste management within healthcare facilities.Interviews' answers (from left to right): internal transport modality (internal transport from clinical/service rooms to storage or collection points); external transport (from the HCF to BCH); general issues and criticalities that the HCFs reported.
