Recently, Shanghai officially launched the construction of "zero-waste hospital". According to the "zero-waste hospital" construction index jointly launched by the Shanghai Municipal Health Commission and the Municipal Bureau of Ecology and Environment, the specific content contains a total of 28 items in 7 categories, focusing on the scientific and reasonable disposal of various types of medical waste, and at the same time refining the requirements for hospital environmental hygiene, tobacco control, pollutant discharge, construction waste, laboratory waste, etc. (According to Xinhua News Agency, February 24**).
Medical waste is not ordinary waste, and improper disposal not only affects the ecological environment, but also may involve biosecurity. Exploring and promoting the construction of "zero-waste hospitals", continuously improving the level of hospital environmental sanitation, garbage classification and medical waste disposal, and highlighting the concept of green environmental protection are the meanings of building a "zero-waste city". The "zero-waste hospital" construction plan launched by Shanghai this time not only covers a wide range, but also has rich and specific content, which provides a valuable reference for other regions to carry out related work.
The construction of "zero-waste hospital" is not an isolated work, but a systematic project, which should establish a system concept and closely integrate with other related work of the hospital. In particular, efforts should be made to strengthen health supervision and integrate relevant work into the daily management of hospitals. With the popularization of the Internet, the construction of "zero-waste hospitals" should pay more attention to innovation and actively use various new technical means. For example, last year, Beijing piloted the use of the whole life cycle traceability system of medical waste and intelligent unattended "medical waste" treatment equipment, which is a good exploration. Continuously building "zero-waste hospitals" can "reduce the burden" of the city, "strengthen" environmental protection, and provide patients with a better medical environment and experience.
