On-site Medical Waste Incineration at Busy Health Center in Rural Haiti
To support the health of these underserved communities, they co-founded a mission, Real Hope for Haiti, which provides community health and other services. The mission includes Grace of the Good Samaritan Health Center (“Centre Sante de la Grace du Bon Samaritain”), an outpatient medical clinic with a dispensary and a modest lab. Plus, an inpatient rescue center for young children with severe malnutrition and other life-threatening conditions, as well as a cholera treatment center. They also provide community health education and community development services. Their dedicated teams serve over a thousand patients each month, many suffering from infections, cholera, and other contagious illnesses.
The landfill serving their area accepts all types of waste but is not equipped to handle hazardous medical waste. In 2018, the mission installed a new Firelake A200 incinerator to ensure safe disposal of their growing volume of hazardous and non-hazardous waste, including sharps and red bag waste.
Their Firelake A-200 incinerator is simple to use, quickly turns hazardous medical waste into sterile, inert ash, and is cost-effective to operate – the perfect fit for a rural mission health facility.
- Waste is reduced by nearly 98%; in less than 4 hours, 200 pounds of medical and other waste is transformed into just 5 pounds of sterile, inert ash
- Simple one-button operation with automatic shut-off; turn it on and walk away
- Easy to load and clean out
- Lowest operating cost in the incineration industry
- Dependable: can run reliably for much more than a decade with simple maintenance
- Operates unnoticed – no noise, no smoke, no smell; exceeds local emissions standards
- 200-pound capacity easily meets their current and future needs
- Rugged design: locate it in the open air or an enclosure
- Easy for their clinic maintenance person to install and maintain using basic tools
- Flexible fuel options: electricity, diesel, LP, or natural gas
Their Firelake A200 incinerator makes it easy for the mission staff to focus on their patients and community’s health and well-being.
