Full-Service Haiti Eye Clinic Safely Disposes of Medical Waste with On-site Incinerator
Their full-service eye center provides all types of eye care, including cataract surgery. Residents travel from near and far for eye and health care. Plus, Every Eye Will See Him Ministries health care teams regularly visit outlying areas to bring routine eye care and medical care to people in villages where travel to town is difficult.
The ministry designed and built a comprehensive facility with an eye center, medical center, apartment building, and guest hostel. They installed solar panels for supplemental electricity. Their Firelake A200 incinerator makes it easy to safely dispose of all medical waste on-site.
The clinic incinerator turns all of its medical waste into inert ash, including red bag waste. All pathogens are rendered harmless. Medical supplies like sharps melt and are rendered useless. In regions of the world where earning an income is difficult, it’s common for people to scour dumpsites for garbage that they can sell. It’s not uncommon for sharps to be washed and resold. This activity carries high risks for those who go through the waste and the patients of practitioners who use second-hand supplies. On-site incineration eliminates this issue and promotes safety.
