Abstract

The health area seeks sustainable management models for making decisions with socio-environmental
responsibility. This study uses a holistic methodology applied to understand the generation of solid health
waste (RSS) between 2016 and 2022 in a large hospital in Goiânia-Goiás. Data available by the hospital
administration were collected and RSS masses were collected. Procedures were applied for the reduction
and segregation at the generating source. The exploratory approach with qualitative and quantitative aspects
shows that the main residues are non-hazardous (Group D). Infectious, chemical and sharps wastes were
distinguished. Training and environmental education activities were developed.
