In this study, 53.1% of the HCWs did not take any
training on healthcare waste management. This finding
was incomparable with a study done in India in which
most HCWs were in accordance with the prescribed
rules and standards of the hospital.21 This could be due
to the budget allocation of HCFs, the accessibility of
healthcare waste document and on job training. This
finding was in agreement with study done in Hawassa
city of Ethiopia and in Nigeria.
