Sociodemographic characteristics, biomedical waste management and the harmful effects linked to poor management of hospital/biomedical waste are the parameters observed during the study. The results observed are; for socio-demographic characteristics, 54% of respondents are male, 68% of respondents are in the 20 to 49 age group, 48% of our respondents have a university education level; for the biomedical waste management parameter: 79% say that there is a waste management policy within their health facility, 74% of respondents affirm that there is poor management of the waste policy and 56% waste is produced by medical services and finally for the parameter harmful effects linked to poor management of hospital/biomedical waste, the following results were observed: 60% of our respondents affirm that the budget deficit is the cause of poor management of waste, the respondents for the most part indexed the traumatic and infectious risks 40% as well as the chemical risks 22% are at the base risks linked to the poor transport of biomedical waste and 56% of our respondents affirm that the proliferation of mosquitoes and other critters harmful and the proliferation of ecological nuisances are the consequences of poor management of hospital/biomedical waste.
