KIDS USE ‘blood vials as lipstick and nail polish illegally dumped in Mt Hampden by AMI Hospital , oblivious of HIV and other diseases’
This article was published by newsday a week ago but because of the ‘Look east policy or dog meat scandal’ in Bulawayo, newzimbabwevision has reposted the article in order to show the dangerous manner of disposal of disease ridden carcasses and contagious hospital waste and how the public, children in particular are exposed to such dangers. Welcome to Zimbabwe!
SHOCKING: A PRIVATE HARARE MEDICAL CENTRE, AMI HOSPITAL, yesterday appeared in court facing allegations of disposing hazardous biological waste in a public dumpsite in Mt Hampden.
Environment Management Agency inspector, Obert Chirombo told the court that the hospital’s management failed to explain how they dispose of their biological waste.
“On June 5 this year, we went to AMI Hospital to check on their disposal manager. Unfortunately, they failed to prove how they dispose or manage their waste,” he said.
Allegations are that on May 30 this year, a Harare resident, Cleanboy Kondowe, received information that there was biological waste dumped at an open space and reported the matter to the police.
The waste included blood vials, used surgical gloves, injection powder bottles and hospital documents with AMI Hospital’s physical address.
Investigations revealed that children from the surrounding community opened the blood vials and used the contents as lipstick and nail polish oblivious of the risk of contracting infectious diseases such as HIV and Aids, among others. newsday.
