PAC WASTE PLUS

The detrimental effect of poorly managed waste and pollution on sustainable development in the 15 Pacific ACP (PACP) countries is taking its toll on the health of Pacific communities, degrading natural ecosystems, threatening food security, impeding resilience to climate change and adversely impacting on social and economic development.

PacWastePlus seeks to work collaboratively with the Timor-Leste Ministry of Health to ensure waste treatment technologies are effectively operating, management systems are established, implemented, and standardized across hospitals, and the workforce is appropriately trained and resourced to effectively manage wastes generated from hospital facilities.

The project will:

  • Develop a National Healthcare Waste Strategy that establishes the required management and treatment of wastes generated by healthcare facilities.
  • Develop a Hospital based Healthcare waste management draft plan for:
    • Baucau Referral Hospital (Baucau)
    • Guido Valadares National Hospital (Dili)
    • Maliana Referral Hospital (Maliana)
    • Maubisse Referral Hospital (Maubisse)
    • Suai Referral Hospital (Suai)
