Abstract
A range of shortcomings was exposed in China’s medical waste disposal capabilities in responding to public health emergencies under outbreak of the novel coronavirus pneumonia (COVID-19) epidemic. Especially, the traditional medical waste disposal capacity allocation and the prevention and control mechanism oriented to “a single city” have been far from meeting the needs of medical waste disposal and management during the emergency period. Therefore, suggestions on establishing the regional joint prevention, control and disposal mechanism of medical waste were put forward in this paper with reference to the ideas of China’s existing regional joint prevention and control mechanism for air and water pollution, which covered the aspects of establishment of coordinating agencies, cross-regional collaborative disposal, cross-regional joint response to emergencies, cross-regional collaborative management and effectiveness evaluation.
