medical waste

The authorities have ordered the closure of a medical facility in Tarhuna after it was found to be illegally disposing of hazardous medical waste, violating environmental and health regulations.

The Public Prosecutor’s Office said an investigation by the Al-Khums Court of Appeals uncovered evidence that the facility (M.A.) had improperly handled infectious and hazardous waste.

Officials also found that staff at the facility operated without a proper license, unlawfully profiting from healthcare services in the city.

Authorities have vowed to take further action against violations in the healthcare sector.
