Abstract
In developing countries especially sub Saharan Africa, the pressure of increased population has led to increasing new concerns for a proper and affordable waste disposal treatment in health care facilities. Effluents of hospital wastes are discharged into streams which are the major source of water supply for inhabitants of most communities. The non-existence of portable water supply in most communities has led to dependence on these streams for drinking, irrigation and other domestic chores which in turn results in outbreak of gastrointestinal infections in surrounding communities.
