Causes of poor waste management Poor waste management is caused by limited legal frameworks, lack of awareness of the health hazards of the waste, inadequate training in appropriate waste management, lack of proper waste management and disposal systems, inadequate financial and human resources, and lack of prioritisation of waste management.11 Furthermore, many countries lack appropriate regulations, or do not monitor and enforce them.3 The prevailing unpleasant economic climate in most LMICs further compromises biomedical waste management, thus pushing the issue further down on the agenda of policymakers.	cache/ajlm-2881.htm	txt/ajlm-2881.txt
