Kathmandu Metropolitan City (KMC) has stopped waste collection from four hospitals due to non-compliance with waste management laws. Hospitals must now present decontamination plans, waste management commitment documents, and details about their collaborating organizations within three days. This move aims to prevent hazardous waste from reaching the landfill site and improve hospital waste management practices.
