DOST XI partners with local innovator for medical waste disposal during COVID 19 vaccination drive 📣
As COVID-19 cases continue to rise, the national and local government have been doubling its effort in promoting mass vaccination to achieve herd immunity against COVID-19. During the vaccination rollouts, tons of COVID-related waste are collected, and thousands of syringes and needles are thrown away after.
To address this problem on medical waste management and disposal, the Department of Science and Technology Region XI (DOST XI) partnered with Bluelander Environmental Services during the vaccination drive for government employees in Davao City led by the Association of Regional Executives of National Agencies in Region XI (ARENA XI) which commenced last June 30, 2021. It is a private company in Davao City that provides affordable and environment-friendly services in medical waste management and treatment to meet the needs of hospitals and clinics.
