| Description |
As the attention towards environment and the risk of environmental pollution increase, environment statistics become one of the basic fields of official statistics. The Health Care waste statistics is an important subject in the environment statistics due to its negative effects on the health and the environment if not disposed properly. Many decisions depend on such statistics, especially in Palestinian Territory where this field lacks some of statistics.
The Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics (PCBS) seeks to provide such data through its program for environment statistics that aims at building and updating a comprehensive and accurate statistical database on all environmental subjects. This program aims to provide statistical data as a tool for monitoring and management of the environmental status in the Palestinian Territory.
This report is one of a series of reports that are being published by the PCBS on the Palestinian environment. The report presents the most important Health Care waste statistics for the private sector indicators as collected from different sources.
This report concentrates on the variables of water consumption, Health Care waste collection, separation and disposal, and wastewater disposal in the private sector Health Care Centers.
PCBS hopes that this report helps planners and decision-makers towards improving the environmental status in the Palestinian Territory. |
