Safe Healthcare Waste Management for Afghanistan’s Immunization Program
The UNICEF-supported initiative in Afghanistan aims to strengthen healthcare waste management systems across key provincial medical and immunization facilities. This project focuses on ensuring that waste generated from immunization activities ― such as used syringes, vaccine vials, safety boxes, and contaminated packaging ― is safely treated, incinerated, and disposed of following international environmental and health standards.
The program’s implementation covers five designated regional sites:
-
Kandahar REMT premises
-
Nangarhar REMT premises (Jalalabad)
-
Balkh REMT premises (Mazar)
-
Herat REMT premises
-
Paktya REMT premises
HICLOVER TS50 incinerator system, specifically selected for its reliability, mobility, and compliance with WHO-recommended healthcare waste treatment methods.
HICLOVER TS50 Incinerator C Model Overview
The HICLOVER TS50 is a diesel-fired, dual-chamber medical waste incinerator designed for hospital and immunization program waste. It supports both stationary installation and containerized deployment, making it ideal for field operations and health facilities across remote or developing regions.
Core Specifications:
-
Primary Chamber Capacity: ~0.56 m3
-
Burn Rate: 50kg/hour
-
Combustion Temperature: 850C1100°C
-
Secondary Chamber Retention Time: ≥ 2 seconds
-
Fuel Type: Diesel or LPG (optional)
-
Control System: PLC-based automation with temperature monitoring and safety interlocks
-
Chimney Height: 6C8 meters, stainless steel or mild steel
-
Optional: Wet scrubber or quench tower for flue gas cooling and neutralization
This design ensures the complete combustion of medical waste, effectively reducing emissions of harmful particulates and pathogens.
Operational Objectives
Each installed incinerator unit is intended to:
-
Treat approximately 400 safety boxes and 1,000 vaccine vials per day
-
Prevent open burning and other unsafe disposal practices
-
Improve health and environmental safety for healthcare staff and nearby communities
-
Support sustainable immunization programs under Afghanistan’s National Expanded Program for Immunization (NEPI)
By standardizing medical waste disposal across key provinces, the system will serve as a scalable and replicable model for environmentally sound healthcare waste treatment nationwide.
medical and Safety Benefits
The TS50 incinerator system minimizes:
-
Risk of infection and accidental injuries from sharps
-
Air pollution, by achieving complete combustion and optional gas scrubbing
-
Groundwater contamination, through controlled ash disposal and sealed combustion chambers
It promotes:
-
Compliance with WHO and UNEP guidelines
-
Training for local technicians on safe operation and routine maintenance
-
Sustainable infrastructure for long-term waste management
Conclusion
The deployment of HICLOVER TS50 medical waste incinerators across Afghanistan marks a critical advancement in public health protection and environmental stewardship. By equipping NEPI and regional medical facilities with standardized, reliable treatment technology, the project establishes a foundation for safe, sustainable, and compliant healthcare waste disposal ― supporting Afghanistan’s broader goals in health resilience and environmental sustainability.
