Personnel from the Environment Protection Agency in charge of medical waste management were interviewed. They relayed advice about how to carry out the survey and provided their perspectives of the medical waste management in Nanjing. According to their recommendations, 15 hospitals were selected for sampling. These hospitals can be divided into three categories according to the type or services provided: 53.3% (8) are general care, 33.3% (5) are specialized,
and the additional two are Chinese medicine hospitals. In this study, ‘‘general hospitals” refers to hospitals that provide medical services and are typically the first patient contact; ‘‘specialized hospitals” refers to hospitals that provide medical services for a particular group of patients; and ‘‘Chinese medical hospitals” refers to hospitals that provide Chinese medical services for general patients. After interviewing the hospital director at each hospital, the hospitals were contacted by a survey team. The team met with hospital personnel involved in the management of the medical
waste observing the process of waste collection and disposal. Waste was weighed every day for one week. According to a walk-through survey of all medical departments and facilities in those hospitals, the team completed the survey of each hospital.
