Resumo
Basic Health Units (BHU) and Family Health Strategy Units (FHSU) are facilities that
provide basic care services to the population of a municipality. The management of
Waste from Health Services (WHS) generated by these units takes place in
interdependent stages whose purpose is to preserve the well-being of the employees,
conserve the environment, and provide security to the population. In Brazil, there is
extensive legislation that regulates the issue with the generating units. This study
aimed to analyze the management of this Waste from Health Services in Basic Health
and Family Health Strategy Units in the municipality of Ilha Solteira, between 2011 and
2018, using bibliographic and documentary research, combined with observation and
photographic record of the management actions adopted by the municipal
administration. They found that the municipality has an Integrated Solid Waste
Management Plan that, since 2012, establishes the correct management of waste, as
an obligation of health managers and other workers of these institutions. According to
the collected data, a gap between the knowledge of health professionals regarding
Health Services Waste and the conceptual aspects of this subject can be observed.
As a result, the definition of "Health Services Waste" is confused with that of "Infectious
Waste", and other terms are used to refer to this type of waste; training and awareness
on the co-responsibility for these residues during the processes of generating, handling
and final destination of these residues in a correct manner is insufficient. The efficiency
in providing these services is a constant concern, but there is a lack of attention to
fundamental issues. They concluded that the system needs further improvement.
Investments in continued education, training of health professionals and clarification of
the population are fundamental for the solution of issues involving the proper
management of WHS and the correct implementation of legislation.
