What’s On?
What’s On?
Refurbished Medical Appliances:
Access to modern medical equipment is a fundamental requirement for delivering quality healthcare services. Unfortunately, many rural and semi-urban healthcare facilities in India lack access to state-of-the-art medical devices. The conference explores the potential of refurbished medical appliances as a cost-effective solution to bridge this gap. By bringing together experts and stakeholders, it will delve into the latest advancements in refurbishing technologies, quality assurance, and the integration of these devices into healthcare systems.
The conference seeks to tackle grassroots issues as a model for municipalities and individuals to take note of. Through this conference, we aim to initiate transformative changes in a village. These changes encompass the establishment of essential medical facilities such as X-ray machines, blood test laboratories, and MRI scans at all levels, ultimately contributing to the realization of a vision for a more developed state. Simultaneously, we will also address the pressing matter of waste management.
Skill Development:
Skill development is an essential component of building sustainable healthcare systems in semi-urban and rural areas. This conference recognizes the need to empower healthcare professionals and waste management personnel with the knowledge and skills necessary for effective biomedical waste management and the operation of refurbished medical equipment. Conduction of Workshops and training sessions in these region will be an integral focus of the conference to address this critical aspect.
Biomedical Waste Management:
The safe disposal of biomedical waste is not only a regulatory necessity but also a moral obligation. The Bio-Medical Waste Management Rules of 2016 established a framework for the proper handling, segregation, treatment, and disposal of biomedical waste. However, implementation challenges persist, especially in resource-constrained settings. The conference aims to address these challenges by facilitating discussions on innovative strategies and technologies for efficient bio-medical waste management.
Behavioural Economics:
Behavioural economics plays a pivotal role in shaping how individuals and institutions make decisions related to healthcare and waste management. Understanding the behavioural aspects of healthcare professionals, waste handlers, and the general public is crucial for designing effective interventions. The conference will feature discussions on how insights from behavioural economics can be harnessed to encourage responsible waste management practices and the adoption of refurbished medical appliances.
Navigating Regulatory Frameworks and Compliance :
With evolving environmental and healthcare regulations, compliance is crucial in waste management. The event will cover the latest developments in legal standards and industry best practices to ensure safe disposal and treatment methods that protect both public health and the environment.
Technological Innovations and Skill Development:
Technological advancements are pivotal in transforming healthcare waste management. The conference will highlight cutting-edge innovations in waste processing, as well as the importance of skill development in creating a workforce capable of managing healthcare waste efficiently and safely.
Addressing the Complexity of Healthcare Waste :
The conference will explore the growing volume and intricate nature of healthcare waste, including biomedical-infectious, hazardous, anatomical, and pharmaceutical waste. Key discussions will focus on the challenges of managing these diverse waste streams while ensuring safety and compliance.
The Role of Refurbished Medical Devices:
Incorporating refurbished medical devices into healthcare systems can significantly reduce waste and promote circularity. Experts will discuss how refurbished equipment can meet healthcare needs while contributing to sustainability, cost efficiency, and waste reduction.
Behavioral Economics and Sustainable Healthcare:
Sustainability in healthcare waste management requires behavioral changes within the industry. This session will delve into how behavioral economics can influence healthcare professionals, policymakers, and institutions to adopt more sustainable waste management practices, improving overall healthcare delivery systems.
