The development objective of the Hospital Waste Management Support Project is to reduce environmental degradation and potential risks for human health through the improved management of health care waste in Vietnam's hospitals. There are three components to the project. The first component of the project is policy and institutional environment strengthening. The aim of this component is: (i) to create enabling policy environment for effective management of health care waste generated by the health sector; and (ii) to strengthen the institutional capacities of relevant ministries and agencies to implement, monitor and enforce health care waste pollution standards and associated management practices. The second component of the project is hospital waste management improvement facility. The objective of this component is the strengthening of individual health care facilities in environmentally sound health care waste management and occupational safety practices. The component will provide grants to finance sub-projects in eligible central and provincial hospitals, with a priority on larger hospitals (which are typically larger waste generators) in more densely populated areas. The third component of the project is project implementation support and coordination. This component will support: (i) the establishment and operation of the Central Project Management Unit (CPMU) under the Ministry of Health (MOH); and (ii) coordination between the MOH and concerned ministries and agencies in implementing the project.
