Sohar: Oman Environmental Services Holding Company be'ah, represented by its Healthcare Waste Management Department, participated in a forum titled Investment in the Private Healthcare Sector: Opportunities and Challenges, organised by the Oman Chamber of Commerce and Industry's North Al Batinah branch.
The business released a technological working document titled "Healthcare Waste Management and Sustainability Challenges. "
The paper detailed Oman's healthcare trash management system, emphasizing the current facilities created by be'ah to support this critical sector. It demonstrated the most recent treatment technology being used, such as thermal treatment and sterilisation techniques, to guarantee the safe and effective disposal of this particular waste stream.
