Abstract

The aim of this study was to find out how Biomedical Waste (BMW) is disposed of in the Leh
district and whether the healthcare facilities are following BMWM Rules 2016. A total of 19 health care
facilities from Leh district were selected for this study. The data were collected through a semi-structured
questionnaire from June 2021-August 2021. After analysis, it was found that all the health care facilities are
involved in the disposal of BMW inside their premises. There is no involvement of the municipality or
CBMWTF in handling BMW in Leh district. All the healthcare facilities have adopted the BMWM Rules
2016 but only partially.
