The Kisumu Health Care Waste Management (HCWM) implementor cocreation workshop held on the 26th and 27th of September, involved a two-day review of the state of the Kisumu health care waste value chain and defining existing root causes that may provide opportunities or obstacles for the execution of a sustainable healthcare waste management plan in the county. With stakeholders ranging from sub county Public Health Officers, regulatory bodies like The National Environment Management Authority (NEMA) and representatives from the County level 6A referral hospital: JOOTRH, the session provided an overview of HCWM both within the urban zones and the rural areas of the county. The cocreation session thus provided what the implementation of the Kisumu County Health Care Waste Management (KHCWM) plan would require particularly the specific stakeholder needs for its success.
