摘要：
Risks associated with healthcare waste management have gained attention across the world at local and international events. Poor management of healthcare waste may expose health workers and public to hazardous wastes from healthcare establishments. It is therefore important to review the adopted practices. In this study, 39 hospitals in Tehran were surveyed by collecting data through an expert-standardized questionnaire. The healthcare waste management index (HWMI) is introduced as a mathematical instrument to convert and aggregate scores of different waste management stages into a single number representing the quality of waste management. Currently, the status of the healthcare waste management is excellent for 3, good for 13, medium for 18, and poor for 5 of the surveyed hospitals.
