A STUDY ON ASSESSING SOCIOECONOMIC FACTORS AFFECTING HEALTHCARE WASTE REGULATIONS IN THE POST-PANDEMIC WORLD

Abstract

Global healthcare systems have been severely damaged by the COVID-19 pandemic, which has increased the amount of waste generated and the difficulties associated with managing it. In a post-pandemic setting, this study explores the complex network of socioeconomic factors that affect how effective healthcare waste regulations are. This study aims to shed light on the particular difficulties presented by healthcare waste management and pinpoint the socioeconomic factors that influence compliance with regulations and achievement by analysing data from various geographical areas. Policymakers, healthcare administrators, and environmental regulators can benefit from the study's findings by using them to help develop focused strategies to reduce risks associated with healthcare waste in a post-pandemic world.
