The Ministry of Health (Minsa) will take the necessary measures following the discovery of clinical waste, including used syringes, in the Los Libertadores area in Panama.
According to recent reports, medical waste was found in a public area, posing a risk to public health and the environment. In response to this situation, Minsa has announced that it will file the appropriate complaints and take action to prevent such incidents from occurring in the future.
The presence of medical waste in unauthorized spaces is a serious violation of biosecurity regulations and can have negative consequences for both the population and the natural environment. It is essential to identify those responsible for improperly disposing of such materials and ensure that stricter safety measures are implemented for their handling and disposal.
In this regard, Minsa emphasized the importance of adhering to the established rules and protocols for managing clinical waste to protect citizens' health and preserve the environment. Failure to comply with these provisions can result in legal penalties and pose a serious danger to the community at large.
