Legal and economic problems of improvement of the control system of the medical waste

Abstract

Introduction. The article is devoted to the current problem of regional development - to the address with the waste of medical origin and the creation of a control system of medical waste as an element of internal quality control and safety of the medical activity. Functioning of a control system of medical waste and ensuring introduction in the medical organizations of progressive, cost-effective methods of hardware disinfecting of dangerous medical waste in the epidemiological relation are the priority factors forming the level of population health of the population of Russia.
