Medical Waste Processing Planning on Hospital Ship 124 M

Abstract

Indonesia is an archipelagic country which has 16,056 islands in 2018. One of the efforts to equalize health facilities in archipelagic areas and accelerate the delivery of health facilities when disasters and accidents occur using hospital ships. The operation of hospital ships will produce hospital waste that needs to be treated to reduce the adverse impact on the environment. Some hospital wastes that are toxic in nature are categorized as B3 waste (Hazardous and Toxic Materials). This waste treatment needs to be regulated so that the ship’s medical area and the ship’s operational environment remain healthy, clean and well-maintained. In this study, it is planned to treat hospital ship waste starting from the grouping of waste in the medical area, calculating the amount of waste generated, diagrams of waste treatment to produce a standard operating procedure that is acceptable and applied according to the analysis on the hospital ship. This research was conducted by making a numerical model based on hospital ship data on the BRS (Bantu Rumah Sakit) ship which is currently still under construction at PT PAL Indonesia (Persero). The results of the calculation of medical waste obtained in this study were 318 kg / day with details of non-infectious waste 254.4 kg / day, sharp object waste 3.18 kg / day, chemical and pharmaceutical waste 9.54 kg / day, pathological waste and 47.4% infectious and 3.18 kg / day of broken tube and thermometer waste. Based on the results of this calculation, a suitable waste treatment design and SOP are made that can be applied to the BRS ship.
