Armenia - Disease Prevention and Control Project : Additional Financing - Environmental Assessment : Environmental and Social Management Framework

25 Nov 2020

The objective of the Additional Financing of the Disease Prevention and Control Project is to improve (i) Maternal and Child Health (MCH) services and the prevention, early detection, and management of selected Non-Communicable Diseases (NCD) at the Primary Health Care (PHC) level; and (ii) the efficiency and quality of selected hospitals in Armenia. Some of the negative impacts and mitigation measures include: the MoH medical facilities are utilizing services of the private sector in the collection and transportation of health care wastes to the licensed waste incinerators. It is mandatory that all medical facilities receiving project support use services of licensed medical waste disposal contractors existing in the country. These licensed contractors are also responsible for the transportation of medical wastes; provide adequate containers for the separated collection of waste, provide safe on, site waste storage facilities, and convenient access to such facilities by waste transportation vehicles; ensure proper use of personal protective gear by all workers and personnel exposed to hazardous materials; avoid unnecessary fragmentation of asbestos-containing parts of the buildings while demounting and sprinkle them in advance; and ensure that workers and any visitors are provided and use personal protective gear.
