The Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC), with funding from the World Bank is in the process of establishing a modern Hydroclave Healthcare Infectious Waste Treatment Facility, which has the capacity to sterilize all infectious waste generated daily in Georgetown and its environs.GPHC’s management says the Hydroclave system is 95% completed and is estimated to be commissioned during the second week of November 2010.
The hospital’s officials are awaiting Canadian Consultants who will commission the system and a coneyer system will be used to deposit the shredded materials into a compactor. There are currently other minor installations being done to the entire facility, both building and machinery to ensure its full readiness for the November commissioning.
