Abstract

In the current mechanism of the system of collection and disposal of medical waste in the Republic of Kazakhstan, there are no rules governing the disposal of household medical waste, which in turn causes a lot of environmental problems.
The article attempts to consider and substantiate the possibility of introducing a new mechanism for the collection and disposal of household medical waste in the Republic of Kazakhstan.
The goal is to propose the adoption of an effective medical waste management system that allows to ensure the protection of the population and the environment from their harmful effects and to consider the best ways to form mechanisms for its legal regulation.
The authors of the articles will study the collection systems of medical waste produced at home abroad, discuss the possibilities of their application in the Republic of Kazakhstan.
The article identifies the persons responsible for the implementation of this system, the ways of organizing and financing the project.
In order to form a legal basis, it is proposed to make amendments and additions to several codes and regulations. It is proved that it is necessary to introduce the concept of «medical household waste» into the environmental legislation of the country.
The authors prove that the introduction of a centralized mechanism for collecting and bringing medical household waste to disposal, bringing their turnover into a single system, is certainly an urgent need that requires solutions at the state level.
