Medical (Clinical) Waste Disposal in Ukraine

Medical (clinical) waste is generated in healthcare institutions and is classified as hazardous waste under the Law of Ukraine “On Waste Management” No. 2320-IX dated 20.06.2022. Such waste poses epidemiological, toxicological, and environmental threats, and therefore requires special handling and treatment.

According to Ukrainian legislation, disposal of medical waste in municipal landfills is strictly prohibited, as this waste may contain:

Medical waste includes:

• Used syringes and needles;
