It is the health services provider institutions’ responsibility to prevent and help minimize this ecological risk. Objective: To evaluate the impact of environmental education on hazardous solid waste management at the University Hospital "Mártires del 9 de Abril" during 2019. Methodology: This is a quasiexperimental research with preand post-intervention. The highest residual generation services were evaluated, 269 individuals from the hospitalization services participated, with all workers from the Epidemiology unit. Results: Out of 26 assessed criteria, before the programme implementation, only 8 received a satisfactory evaluation of 30.76%; afterwards, 21 of them received a satisfying assessment of 80.76%. Except for the hazardous solid waste management stages, the other aspects evaluated did not reach more than 49.81%; after implementation, all aspects assessed reached more than 90.33%. The program impact resulted in being 95.16%. Conclusions: The environmental education program improved the workers’ knowledge level on hazardous waste management, it also contributed to enhancing the criteria evaluated in terms of dimensions, structure, process, and result in the hospital environment.
