The rising demand of health care services also gives light into effective biomedical waste. Because it has so many implications as a danger factor for both the health of patients, hospital employees, and extending beyond the confines of the medical institution to the general population, hospital waste generation has thus become a top issue. By doing effective management of biomedical waste management, we secure environment, as well as human health for current and future generation. India is one of the nation’s most severely affected by the COVID 19 pandemic. The immediate change in the healthcare sector compels the government to update the current biomedical waste management regulations. This paper reviews the changes occur in the management of biomedical waste in India and amendments in the law in order to improve the public health & safety during the pandemic while handling biomedical waste.
