Waste management is a collection, transportation, and disposal of garbage, sewage, and other waste products. Waste management is the process of treating solid wastes and offers a variety of solutions for recycling items that don’t belong to trash. The aim of this study was to review and assess the current status of medical waste management practices at Qutour General Hospital. A descriptive cross-sectional and observational design was used. The study was conducted at Egyptian Hospitals and Case Study of Qutour General Hospital. A random sample of sixty participants from the medical and nursing staff and workers by simple randomization. One tool was used for data collection: A structured questionnaire schedule: consists of two parts, social characteristics of the study sample and a questionnaire to collect information on the management of medical waste. The results show there was proper knowledge among all health care workers related to waste segregation regarding general, infectious and sharps waste. workers have knowledge related to color-coded bags and medical waste storage and transport despite not reading the written policies of waste management. The study concluded a gap between current knowledge of hospital waste management among health-care workers and that demanded by hospital waste management implementation policies. All the storage waste rooms were inappropriate, the studied hospitals had records for delivered and received wastes but incomplete. The study recommended establishing a medical waste system to implement the existing legislation, establish a waste management team, development of in-service training programs for health care workers and written policies or clear procedures of waste management should be available at ambulatory clinics.
