ETLog Health undertakes waste-management project in Tajikistan
Berlin/Dushanbe. ETLog Health was commissioned by GITEC to conduct inventories in selected hospitals in Tajikistan. The project is financed by the Kreditanstalt für Wiederaufbau (KfW).
(firmenpresse) - Tajikistan has been a partner-land with Germany for developmental co-operation since 2002. According to the foreign office, Germany and Tajikistan have agreed on "sustainable economic co-operation," building and the health service as foci of this work. Since beginning the development work, Germany has made 100 million € available, including emergency aid.
In 2004, both sides agreed to develop projects in the health-care sector. According to the World Health organization (WHO), life-expectancy in Tajikistan has declined due to various factors. The most important causes are: poor nutrition, contaminated drinking water, the increasing incidence of contagious diseases (malaria, TB, HIV/AIDS, sexually transmitted infections, typhus and cholera) and illnesses of the respiratory and digestive organs, such as acute intestinal infections. Thus it is all the more important to improve the conditions of waste disposal in the health-care establishments. This can help to avoid infections. ETLog Health investigated current practices of waste and effluent disposal in selected hospitals in the country. Their study focussed on the collection and sorting as well as the practices of dealing with dangerous waste. The results were supported by a cost calculation of the necessary measures of modernization. This study was commissioned by GITEC Consult GmbH, and financed by the KfW.
