Resumo
The objective of this work was to analyze the management of health care waste (HCW) in municipal public health facilities in 17 municipalities in the state of Goiás, Brazil. Forms have been applied to managers of hospitals and clinics based on specific standards for HCW. The survey of information occurred from February 2013 to January 2014, and it was found that incineration is the main method of treatment used in 100% of the municipalities, and 11% disposed part of the waste in the same place of the household waste. It was noticed that professionals involved in the HCW management processes have no knowledge of it at all, reflecting on failure on segregation and, therefore, on the treatment and disposal costs, being necessary higher attention of the public authorities and managers to the issue of HCW, promoting health of workers and the environmental quality of the city.
